Helianthus annuus

Sunflower oil

Skin and coat support

Sunflower oil derived from sunflower seeds (Helianthus annuus) is a natural source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that plays an important role in skin health.

Linoleic acid contributes to maintaining the integrity of the skin barrier, helping the skin retain moisture and supporting normal skin function. A well-functioning skin barrier is important for maintaining healthy skin and a shiny coat in dogs.

Because essential fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the body in sufficient amounts, they must be provided through the diet. For this reason, oils rich in omega-6 fatty acids such as sunflower oil are commonly included in pet nutrition to support healthy skin and coat condition while contributing to overall nutritional balance (Verhelst, 2025).
