  sunflower oil quality

  Posted by Stanley on April 5, 2022 at 2:23 pm

  Is there a major difference in linoleic sunflower oil and just oleic sunflower oil?  Of course this is being used for cosmetic purposes and not food.  Could food grade be used in cosmetic?

  The linoleic may have some stability issues more quickly than the oleic since there is an extra, less stable double bond, but from a performance standpoint, I doubt you would notice any difference.

  thank you! 
  Does anybody know of any Sunflower Oil vendors that do not get their product from the Ukraine or Russia?
