Annual sunflower (Helianthus annuus)

The annual sunflower, scientifically known as Helianthus annuus, is one of the best known and most popular plants. Its massive and striking flowers create a beautiful spectacle in the summer months and its bright yellow colouring is a clear reminder of the sun for which it is named. Originally from North America, this plant is also commonly known as the Common Sunflower or Summer Sunflower. In English, this plant is then referred to as Sunflower. In the world of cosmetics, sunflower is used to make sunflower wax, also known as Sunflower seed wax or Helianthus annuus cera.

The annual sunflower is best known for its seeds, which are used to make sunflower oil. It is used in the food industry as well as in the cosmetics industry, for example, where it is used for its moisturising and hydrating properties. Sunflower oil is often used in various skin creams, body lotions, lip balms and hair products. Sunflower wax, which is made from the seeds of the annual sunflower, is often included in cosmetic products such as various creams, lip balms, make-up or decorative cosmetics. The wax helps to firm these products and increase their stability. Thanks to its properties, it also improves the texture and consistency of these products. It is therefore clear that the annual sunflower finds its application not only in our gardens, but also in many products that we use in our daily lives.
