REFINED SUNFLOWER OIL
SUNFLOWER OIL is obtained from compressed sunflower seeds. It is commonly used in cooking,in food as
frying oil, and in cosmetic formulations as an emollient. Sunflower oil is also used to lower low-density
lipoprotein (LDL, “bad” cholesterol) as well as treating arthritis, constipation, skin conditions, and
wound healing.
Sunflower oil is used as bio-diesel to power vehicles, particularly farming equipment. In fact, this oil is
much safer for our environment than petroleum-based fuels. In tire-making giant, sunflower oil is
used by certain companies to help tires maintain traction in wet or snowy weather. The oil helps the
tire rubber maintain its elasticity at low temperatures which enables the tire to handle better in
adverse road conditions.
