Why Choose Ozonated Sunflower Oil?
Posted by Taylor Douglas - Read Time: < 5 minutes
Ozone has potent germicidal properties. Because of this, we use it for disinfection and sanitization in a variety of industries. In recent years, practitioners have also used it in dermatology to help with allergic diseases, wound healing, and ulcer recovery. These benefits make ozone popular in combination with an oil, such as sunflower oil, for topical usage. (3)
Sunflower oil is rich in omega-6 and -9 fatty acids, making it more reactive to ozone compared to other oils. These fatty acids make Ozonated Sunflower Oil our second most potent oil and, with its natural supply of vitamins, it provides many skin benefits. So, what can this oil do? (2)
Protect from Sun Damage
One vitamin in sunflower oil is vitamin E, which absorbs UVB light and is helpful for protecting the skin from damage caused by free radicalsA. To avoid this skin damage, apply the sunflower oil topically as a natural sunscreen. (1)
Wound Healing
Because ozone has strong antimicrobial properties, it has positive effects on wound healing. One study in particular shows ozonated sunflower oil increased the inflammatory response of the affected area, which is the first step in the wound healing process, and to decrease wound size. (2)
“I was introduced to sunflower oil through a friend of mine and I’ve found this one on the internet since we don’t have it on sale in Canada. I work at a restaurant and burns and cuts are common. All I can say is that my scars are disappearing and the healing process is AWESOME. Faster than usual. The smell is a bit strong, but if you use it and cover it you should have no problem.” - Priscila K.
“I’ve applied the ozone oil to blemishes, cuts, and scrapes and it really speeds the recovery.” - Anonymous
Skin Diseases
The antibacterial, antifungal, and germicidal properties of Ozonated Sunflower Oil have led to significant results with fungal issues like onychomycosisC and tinea pedisD. (3)
“Been using this for several months for a tenacious toenail fungus. I tried tea tree oil ointment in the past, but it never cleared up the fungus. Now, after just a few months, the toenail is almost fungus-free! Thanks!” - Evelyn
“My daughter’s hands had rashes for over 2 years. Tried every cream there is. After two days of using this oil, my daughter’s hands started to clear up. They are no longer inflamed, no longer irritated, and her skin is no longer itchy. The redness and flaky skin is turning back to healthy-looking skin. This product saved my daughter’s skin.” - Natasha T.
“Works wonderfully and surprisingly fast. I have persistent eczema and fungal infections, which have responded in just a few days after use where everything else has failed. Eczema is all but cleared up and fungal infections, including toenail fungus and ringworm, are much improved. Best skin medicine ever.” - Michael C.
Hydrates
Thanks to the abundance of omega-9 fatty acids in sunflower oil, it is a great ingredient to include in skin products to help preserve the epidermis and improve hydration in adult skin. It does this by enhancing skin barrier repair and promoting skin barrier homeostasisB. (4)
“After suffering from peeling facial skin that only got worse with 1000s of moisturizers, this has been a GOD SEND. Not only did it heal my dry irritated acne-prone face, it has allowed me to never have to wear makeup if I don’t want to. Forever customer. Tears of THANKFULNESS!” - Anonymous
Pets
Ozonated Sunflower Oil is also one of the most popular oils to use with pets. A lot of owners use it for their pet’s oral health and topically for wounds. A study shows the benefits of using Ozonated Sunflower Oil on animals. After topically applying the oil daily for a week, the oil helped improve the healing rate of the wound. (2)
“We use this product for a benign cyst our 14-year-old beagle has on his backside. Most vets recommend surgery, which can leave an animal incontinent. The sunflower oil keeps the cyst from getting inflamed and works great. My husband, a big doubter, even used the product on a cut on his skin and was surprised at how well it worked at healing.” - Ann O.
“Sunflower oil skin rescue remedy is wonderful. My dog had some hair loss on her tail. This product helped immensely. I used it for three weeks.” - Kaylah S.
“I have been using this daily on my dog’s teeth after a bad tooth infection. She has decaying teeth but is too old for anesthesia so I found this product and she has had no oral issues since.” - Anonymous
Conclusion
Overall, the fatty acid richness of Ozonated Sunflower Oil makes it a very potent antibacterial and antifungal oil. You can use it for a multitude of skin issues that have had no recourse with other topical applications. When applied daily, results are sure to be seen.
