The post Sunflower Oil – 4oz first appeared on Valley Blossoms.]]> Sunflower Oil (high-oleic, expeller pressed, Helianthus annuus): is very high in oleic (monounsaturated) acid and oil is usually defined as having a minimum 80 percent oleic acid. Sunflower oil has a light texture and is pleasant to use. It contains vitamins A, C, D, and E, a high linoleic acid content, and few saturated fatty acids. This oil is easily absorbed and can be used on all skin types.
Its high vitamin E content makes it especially helpful for delicate and dry skin. It has a protective effect on the skin and is healing when applied to leg ulcers, bruises and skin diseases. Many soapmakers use sunflower oil as a less expensive alternative to olive oil. When using sunflower oil in soapmaking, be sure to include other more saturated fats and oils for quicker saponification and, in the case of superfatted soap, a longer shelf life. Limit sunflower oil to 10-15% of your total fats and oils.

The post Pumpkin Seed Oil – 4oz first appeared on Valley Blossoms.]]> Considered to provide moisturizing properties to dry and damaged skin due to its high levels of Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids. Makes an excellent addition to massage oils.
Because it?s rich in fatty acids and an outstanding anti-inflammatory, it helps to calm and soothe redness in the skin as well as keep it hydrated and firm. It encourages cell turnover and aids in maintaining collagen levels, which results in more youthful looking skin. Vitamin E, in particular, is found in high levels in pumpkin seed oil, and combined with its beta-carotene content, they work together to help protect the skin from damage and reduce the signs of aging.
The oil also helps to improve skin tone, and may be beneficial for a variety of conditions like eczema, psoriasis , acne and dry flaky skin too ? all thanks to its high level of fatty acids and powerful antioxidant content.
The fatty acids are what help to maintain proper skin tone and speed the repair of irritated skin while ensuring proper moisture levels and normalizing oil production in the epidermis.

The post Palm Kernel Oil (Sustainable) – 1lb first appeared on Valley Blossoms.]]> This oil is obtained from the kernels, taken from the cracked nuts of the palm. This oil contains large proportions of lauric acid, its chemical composition is quite different from that of palm oil, and is used chiefly for making soap. Palm kernel oil is a lauric type, similar to coconut oil and produces hard soaps that lather well in all kinds of water. Soaps made with palm kernel oil are white, very hard, and lather beautifully; 10-30% is plenty when combined with other vegetable oils. This small percentage also keeps the final bars from developing an odor characteristic of the palm kernel oil. Like coconut oil, palm kernel can have a drying effect when used in excess, yet is moisturizing when used in moderation.
