It can help products feel soothing and contribute to a comfortable skin feel. Sunflower-derived ingredients are often valued for their gentle, skin-friendly character.
Is Helianthus Annuus Extract natural or synthetic?
Helianthus Annuus Extract is a naturally derived ingredient, obtained from the sunflower plant. It is a botanical extract rather than a lab-synthesized compound. As with other plant extracts, its exact profile can vary by source and extraction method.
