Furthermore, some of those fatty acids, as well as vitamin E and other compounds, act as antioxidants to protect the skin from free radicals. In addition to these, it contains carotenoids and appreciable quantities of vitamins A, D and E. Due to its emollient properties, sunflower oil helps the skin to retain its moisture.

Lecithin has powerful moisturizing properties that help to keep the skin hydrated. It also has the unique ability to deeply penetrate the skin. As a result, it may assist the skin in absorbing other properties as well.
