Sunflower oil?

Question

Is sunflower oil a good type of oil for sensitive (dry) skin. Why do you think someone can be allergic to almond oil, shea butter, olive oil, basically every type of oil when applied topically on the skin - except the sunflower oil? Is this oil perhaps more gentle? Thanx.

Answer 1

Try eating sunflower butter  ( it's in the health food ailes with peanut and soy butters) and putting olive oil on a salad everyday- it works better from the inside out for your skin.

It is usually other additives that make shea and other oils a sensitivity problem- like perfumes and emulsifiers.

Answer 2

if you have allergies to ragweed you 'may' develop an allergic reaction to sunflower oil. but its quite rare. sunflower oil is high in vitamin E and essential fatty acids needed for beautiful skin and it offers some sun protection.  there are tons of other gentler oils too. look at some and their properties on this website:
