Key Benefits:

Cardiovascular Health:

Sunflower oil, especially high-oleic varieties, is rich in monounsaturated fats (MUFAs) like oleic acid, which can help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and potentially reduce the risk of heart disease.

Skin and Hair Health:

Rich in vitamin E, sunflower oil can nourish and moisturize the skin, potentially helping with dryness and irritation. It can also contribute to healthy hair growth and shine, according to a blog by Augustinus Bader.

Antioxidant Properties:

Vitamin E in sunflower oil acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage and potentially supporting overall health.

Other potential benefits:

Some studies suggest sunflower oil may also help with inflammation and may have benefits for certain skin conditions like acne and eczema, but more research is needed to confirm these uses.
