PerfumersWorld: Sunflower oil is a non-volatile plant oil used as a carrier and in massage oils.sunflower oil has a bland odour with a light texture and quick absorption into the skin. add a just enough to a too-slow absorbing blend (e.g 10-30%) to give you the desired absorption rate.not really recommended as a solvent in perfumery compounds due to poor solubility of resins, citrus oils (terpenes), powders and crystals plus will tend to produce rancid notes.
