For soapmaking, we work with high-oleic sunflower oil, a variety cultivated specifically for its elevated oleic acid content, which makes it more stable and better suited to long-lasting bar soap formulas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigh-oleic sunflower oil behaves similarly to olive oil in a formula, contributing gentle conditioning and a pleasant skin feel while supporting bar longevity. It is an excellent choice for palm-free recipes where we want the mildness of a high-oleic oil alongside structural butters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandard sunflower oil is high in linoleic acid, very conditioning but prone to faster rancidity. High-oleic sunflower oil shifts that balance toward oleic acid, making it more shelf-stable while retaining excellent skin-softening properties. The result is a bar that stays fresh longer without compromising on feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSkin Feel \u0026amp; Lather\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLather: Creamy and stable\u003cbr\u003eSkin feel: Lightweight, softening\u003cbr\u003eBest for: All skin types, especially sensitive skin\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYou can find sunflower oil in many of our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lesilobleu.com\/collections\/soap\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Handcrafted soap\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ehandcrafted soaps.\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor external use only.
