Organic sunflower oil refined

Gustav Heess

Our organically grown sunflower seeds are harvested when the back of the flower heads have a yellowish to brownish discoloration and the leaves begin to wilt. After harvesting the sunflower seeds, we clean and then dry them to ensure the optimum moisture content. The shells are then separated from the seeds in the dehulling process. The seeds prepared in this way are crushed and subjected to a conditioning process that heats the seeds and makes them more productive for oil extraction.

The oil is then extracted from the kernels by mechanical pressure at low temperatures and then fed into a gentle refining process. The resulting oil is filtered several times to achieve a particularly high level of quality and purity. In Leonberg, we carry out final laboratory analyses on our refined organic sunflower oil to ensure that it meets our strict quality and purity requirements. Thanks to a diversified supply chain that relies on different seed suppliers and production locations, we offer a reliable supply even in the event of potential climatic fluctuations. The entire production process follows strict ecological and social guidelines that guarantee the quality of the product and the protection of the environment.

Usage

  • Cosmetics

    • Sunflower oil is rich in vitamin E and fatty acids that deeply hydrate and soften the skin, ideal for lotions and creams
    • Due to its light texture and good compatibility, it is often used as a base oil for blending with essential oils
    • Often used in shampoos and conditioners as it helps to retain moisture in the hair and prevent split ends
    • Helps maintain skin elasticity and can be used to prevent signs of ageing
    • Used in cleansing oils and creams as it gently removes impurities and make-up without drying out the skin
  • Food

    • Due to its high smoke point, sunflower oil is ideal for deep-frying, frying and baking at high temperatures
    • Often used as the main ingredient in the production of margarine and mayonnaise due to its favorable fatty acid composition
    • Ideal for sautéing vegetables and meat as it does not mask the natural flavor of the ingredients
    • It provides moisture and softness in cakes, muffins and bread and is therefore often used as a fat additive
    • Popular carrier oil - it is often used as a neutral base for infusion with herbs and spices to create flavored oils
    • Offers health benefits due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids, especially valuable linoleic acid
  • Pharmaceutics

    • Used as a safe and effective excipient in capsules and tablets to improve the release and absorption of the active ingredients it contains
