High Oleic Sunflower Oil is the perfect addition to handmade soap and lotion. It's packed with essential fatty acids and vitamin E, so it feels moisturizing on the skin. It's perfect for dry areas because it's lightweight but it doesn't absorb too quickly. It does have a slower absorption rate, so it can feel slightly oily on the skin in leave-on recipes like balms and lotions. Safflower oil makes a white, soft soap bar with stable lather and good conditioning and moisturizing properties. It traces slowly, so it is good for complicated swirling. Sunflower oil in soap making is similar to sunflower, soybean and canola oil and can substitute a portion of olive oil in the recipe. It has a short shelf life. Recommended usage rate is 5-15%.
