Product Background

Helianthus annuus is a large annual plant that can reach up to 4 m tall. What is often called the "flower", or pseudanthium, is actually a "flowering head" of many small individual flowers with 5 petals.The arrangement of the central flowers (or florets), or seeds, on the receptacle draws spirals responding to the rules of phyllotaxis and rotating either clockwise or in the opposite direction.The enclosed seeds, in a gray and white shell, contain about 30% oil.

Key Attributes
Improve Stability and Viscosity

The melting point of about 68 ° C and the high percentage of stearic acid give it interesting properties in thickening of fat phases to improve the stability of your O / W and W / O emulsions by creating a structured network in the phase oily.

Improve the Adhesion of your Makeup Products
  • The fatty acid composition and the moderately high melting point (68 ° C) are key points to improve the adhesion of your sticks, foundations and mascaras.
  • The Cosm'Oil SFWD is ideal for all types of makeup formulations: sticks and lip balms, foundations, mascaras.
