Sunflower oil is rich in vitamin E, essential fatty acids and omega-6. It thus helps to fight against the dehydration of the hairs of the beard. This will allow you:

• to have a shinier, less dull beard. This will give your face a little glow.

• to have a fuller, more beautiful beard: a hydrated hair is a stronger, thicker hair.
