How It Works: Very high linoleic acid (la, 55-60%) provides ceramide-1 synthesis support and anti-comedogenic sebum normalization. alpha-linolenic acid (ala, 15-20%) provides anti-inflammatory prostaglandin precursors. gamma-linolenic acid (gla, 1-4%) provides additional anti-inflammatory activity.

Sunflower Seed Oil
Common Name(s): Sunflower seed oil,botanical oil/butter,phytochemical active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides emollient conditioning, essential fatty acid supplementation, and barrier lipid support from the natural triglyceride/wax ester composition.
Why It's Used: Natural carrier oils provide sc-compatible lipid composition for genuine barrier integration rather than surface-only occlusion.
How It Works: Fatty acid triglycerides integrate into sc lipid bilayers delivering oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acid for emolliency and barrier repair; essential fatty acids serve as ceramide biosynthesis precursors.
