Organic sunflower oil

The sunflower is a plant of Amerindian origin that was brought to Europe at the end of the 16th century. The Amerindians used it for its nutritional and medicinal properties. The term "helianthemum" used to describe the sunflower comes from the Greek words "helios" meaning sun and "anthos" meaning flower, which translates as "sun flower". This is of course due to the radiate shape of the flower, which is a bright yellow reminiscent of the sun. What's more, the word sunflower is borrowed from the Italian girasol, which means "turning with the sun". The third most widely consumed oil in France, there are now many cultivars, including the so-called oleic sunflower. The composition of vegetable oil is strongly influenced by production conditions. There are two varieties of sunflower oil: traditional oil, essentially made up of Omega-6, and oleic oil, rich in Omega-9. The latter is much more stable and can be used for cooking. Sunflower oil, rich in omega-6 or omega-9, nourishes, moisturises and protects the skin thanks to its high content of vitamin E and essential fatty acids. It prevents dryness and softens the skin. On the hair, it moisturises, strengthens and adds shine and suppleness, ideal for fragile, dry hair.
