SUNFLOWER Following the sun throughout the day, our common sunflower, Helianthus annus, gets its name from helios (the sun) and anthos (flower). Sunflowers are commonly grown for their oil and seeds which are high in essential fatty acids. Our Sunflower soap contains ground sunflower seeds and conditioning sunflower oil. Coloring is derived from herbs, spices, and flowers. A warming combination of six essential oils are perfectly blended to produce the unique late summer scent. Did you know? -- Sunflowers were revered by the Aztecs 600 years ago in their temples of the sun and are thought to be the first cultivated crop in North America - before corn. The Indians used all parts of the flower. Seeds were ground or eaten whole. Oil from the seeds were used in cooking, and on skin and hair. The dried stalk was used as a building material, and the leaves were commonly used in herbal remedies.
