HYDROGENATED SUNFLOWER SEED EXTRACT.

Insufficient Data / SKIN CONDITIONING

Hydrogenated Sunflower Seed Extract is a modified botanical ingredient derived from the sunflower, designed for enhanced stability. While specific data for the hydrogenated form is limited, its non-hydrogenated counterpart is recognized for its rich composition of essential fatty acids, polyphenols, and amino acids, contributing to skin health.

Science

Mechanism of Action

The mechanism for Hydrogenated Sunflower Seed Extract is inferred from the non-hydrogenated form, which acts as a potent antioxidant, neutralizing oxidative stressors. It also functions as an emollient, replenishing the skin's lipid barrier to boost hydration, improve resilience, and reduce moisture loss. Additionally, it exhibits soothing properties that may visibly calm redness and minor irritation. Hydrogenation primarily stabilizes the lipid components of the extract, potentially improving its shelf-life and sensorial profile compared to non-hydrogenated versions.

Key findings

  1. 01 Non-hydrogenated sunflower seed extract in a moisturizer demonstrated no irritation or sensitization in a Human Repeat Insult Patch Test (HRIPT) involving 102 subjects, and no dermal irritation was observed in a 4-week use study with 34 subjects.
  2. 02 An HRIPT of a face cream containing non-hydrogenated sunflower seed extract elicited low-level reactions, concluding it to be non-irritating and non-sensitizing.
  3. 03 A trade name mixture with non-hydrogenated sunflower seed extract was not sensitizing to human subjects in an HRIPT.

Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel in 2015-2016 determined that data for Hydrogenated Sunflower Seed Extract were insufficient for a comprehensive safety assessment. They specifically requested an HRIPT at a concentration of at least 1% for this ingredient. While other sunflower-derived ingredients were deemed safe, Hydrogenated Sunflower Seed Extract requires further evaluation.
