FunctionBarrier Lipid

What it is — Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (INCI: Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil), also known as sunflower seed oil, is a barrier lipid.

What it does — It is commonly used as a lipid to help reinforce the skin's moisture barrier.

Typical use — It is used in moisturizers, creams and treatments that aim to reinforce the skin or scalp's lipid barrier. It is most useful within a blend designed to top up the skin's own lipids.

Who it suits / good to know — Generally well tolerated and skin-compatible. It works best as part of a balanced barrier-support formula. It suits routines aimed at comfort and resilience rather than exfoliation or brightening.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
