For adults: Sunflower seed wax is a plant wax used to thicken and soften creams and lotions. It is generally safe for adult skin and considered low risk.
If you are an adult with normal skin, you can use products that contain this wax as directed. If you have sensitive skin or a known seed/plant allergy, do a small patch test on your inner forearm and wait 24–48 hours before regular use. Stop use if you get redness, itching, swelling, or a rash.
The ingredient safety database flags allergy concerns as low, but people with known sunflower seed or related plant allergies could still react. Avoid applying to open wounds or badly broken skin. If you develop signs of an allergic reaction (hives, swelling of face or throat, difficulty breathing), seek medical help immediately. For mild irritation, stop use and consult your healthcare provider.
