Product description

A great addition to your cosmetic products and a raw material that you will also appreciate when making soap is sunflower oil rich in oleic acid. However, this is not the classic sunflower oil as you know it from an ordinary kitchen.

Sunflower oil with a high oleic acid content has at least 80 % oleic acid. Traditional sunflower oil, however, is at levels of around 20 % oleic acid and contains a higher content of linolenic fatty acid represented in lipids.

Sunflower oil with a high oleic acid content is produced by pressing from sunflower seeds that have been specially bred for a high oleic acid content. Since this fatty acid contains fewer double bonds than linolenic acid, this oil is less prone to oxidation than traditional sunflower oil. Therefore, sunflower oil rich in oleic acid will provide you with products that have longer stability and shelf life. Also thanks to this, this oil can be present in a higher amount when making soap.

Its dosage in soap making depends on the composition of the other oils in the recipe as well as on the desired properties of the soap (hardness, foaminess and similar). You can verify the overall representation of individual fatty acids and the expected properties of the soap, for example using various soap calculators.

When making soap, you will appreciate the increased oleic acid content, because it is precisely this fatty acid that contributes to the conditioning and emollient properties of the soap. At the same time, it gives the soap hardness, but it is necessary to take into account that soaps with a higher content of sunflower oil rich in oleic acid will lather less.

All supplied raw materials are of cosmetic grade, not suitable for internal use. Use appropriate protective equipment when handling.
