Sunflower oil is moisturizing and calming and has been used in the medical and cosmetic industries for years. It is popular with those who deal with inflammation, acne, skin irritations and redness. It is the second-strongest oil we offer, so it might not always be ideal for sensitive skin. It's recently found a lot of popularity for use with pets. Also available in one ounce tubes.
Sunflower is high in Vitamin E and also includes beta-carotene and Vitamin A.
We use standard organic sunflower oil, which is stronger than other types of oil. This type, which is high in Linoelic EFA, is the original sunflower oil, and is used in Europe, Cuba, Russia and other countries. Because it is stronger and more effective it has a more liquid consistency.\

PET HEALTH
"I used this product on my dog's skin condition. Cleared it up and allowed the hair to grow back." - Paula R.
"We use this product for a benign cyst our 14 year-old beagle has on his backside. Most vets recommend surgery, which can leave an animal incontinent. The Sunflower oil keeps the cyst from getting inflamed and works great. My husband, a big doubter, even used the product on a cut on his skin and was surprised at how well it worked at healing." - Ann O.
"Sunflower oil skin rescue remedy is wonderful. My dog had some hair loss on her tail. This product helped immensely." - Kaylah S.
Ingredients and Usage
Simple, safe and pure ingredients:
Helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil*, activated oxygen (ozone). *Organic
That's really all there is!
How to Use:
It can be applied to the wound or infection topically. After applying the sunflower oil it will absorb into the applied area. If using on an open wound a bandage is recommended.
Storage:
Keep in the refrigerator or freezer for long term storage. This will make it much thicker than at room temperature, but it will never harden like most other oils. If using more frequently, it can be left out at room temperature.
How does sunflower stack up against other oils?
The Potential Ozonide Index (POI) shows how much ozone a particular oil can hold. The more Omega 3s, 6s and 9s an oil has, the more ozone it can infuse and the stronger it is. The formula goes like this: Omega 3s (x3) + Omega 6s (x2) + Omega 9s (x1) = POI.
Sunflower has 0 Omega 3s, 65 Omega 6s and 23 Omega 9s, giving it a final POI of 153. This makes it a high strength oil that may not be suitable for sensitive skin.
