Escentia Sunflower Seed Oil - Cold Pressed - 1L

Escentia Sunflower Seed Oil - Cold Pressed is a light, nutrient-rich carrier oil used in skincare, haircare, and soap making where a non-greasy, easily spreadable oil is wanted. It is naturally rich in essential fatty acids and vitamin E, making it a versatile choice for moisturising blends, body oils, hair treatments, and gentle cleansing formulations.

This is a carrier oil, not an essential oil, so it can be used on its own or as a base for diluted essential oil blends. Cold pressed and sourced from South Africa, it is especially useful in formulations that need softness, slip, and a lighter skin feel. Why we love it: This is one of those beautifully practical oils that fits into almost any DIY routine.

It feels light on the skin, works well in soaps and body blends, and brings a simple, nourishing touch to both skin and hair care without feeling heavy.
