Sunflower oil is the non-volatile oil pressed from the seeds of the sunflower. Sunflower oil is commonly used in food as a frying oil, and in cosmetic formulations as an emollient. Sunflower oil is primarily composed of linoleic acid, a polyunsaturated fat, and oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat.
Sunflower oil may contain high levels of vitamin E, phytosterols, and linoleic acid which may benefit brain-related conditions. It also contains choline that might have the potential to lower anxiety, stress, and depression, and may enhance memory.
