I know seed oils (PUFAs) are not recommended for daily consumption but what about using them in color cosmetics and skin care products?Updated 3 months ago

There is clear research regarding the health concerns of daily seed oil or PUFA consumption. Many Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) are also heavily processed by means of hexane and other chemical-based solvents and/or extreme heat. These processes can cause the seed oils to oxidize, increasing their free radical potential. Crunchi is committed to working with suppliers that utilize the highest quality oils that have undergone the least amount of processing possible, typically cold/ expeller pressed oils (method of extraction using pressure, no additional heat is introduced).

Topically applied, PUFAs aren’t inherently bad as the sebum of our skin naturally contains them. While we do not recommend consuming seed oils on a daily basis, there are ways we can use them to positively impact the health of our skin.
