Helianthus annuus seed oil unsaponifiables is the residue left over from the saponification of sunflower oil (see sunflower below) as "unsaponifiable". Helianthus annuus seed oil unsaponifiables is used in cosmetic formulations. The substrate acts as an emollient (makes the skin supple and smooth) and flavouring agent.
