Light as Sunshine: With its water-soluble, powdered format, this natural extract blends beautifully into a variety of skin and hair care formulations.  


DESCRIPTION 

A symbol of warmth and vitality, the Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) offers more than just golden beauty. Derived from nutrient-dense seeds and concentrated at a 5:1 ratio, Sunflower Botanical Extract is naturally rich in polyphenols, potent antioxidants, and Vitamin F (linoleic acid), an essential fatty acid that helps maintain healthy-looking skin.

With a lightweight, emollient touch, it helps restore moisture balance, soothe minor irritation, and keep skin feeling smooth and comfortable. Its water-soluble format makes it easy to incorporate into a variety of skin and hair care formulations, bringing a sunny boost of nourishment to every application.  


DIRECTIONS & SUGGESTED USAGE

  • Soft-Touch Body Care: Blend into body butters, hand creams, or after-sun products at 0.5–2% for lightweight hydration and antioxidant support.
  • Lustrous Locks: Incorporate Sunflower Botanical Extract into shampoos, conditioners, or masks at 0.5–2% to nourish strands, boost shine, and promote silky softness.
  • Formulation Notes: Add Sunflower Botanical Extract to the water phase during the cool-down stage (ideally below 40–50°C / 104–122°F) to help protect heat-sensitive compounds.
