I have a list of about 3000 products containing sunflower or its derivitives. Needless to say I had a moment of mourning when I realized I used to use a lot of these products; Bye Bye Herbal Essences, Dove body wash, Skintimate shave gel and L'Oreal Feria hair dye!

I'm not going to list them all because we know to read ingredients before we buy (see also my "Sunflower by any other name" post) but if you use Avon, for example, you can't read ingredients before buying.

Here are some to avoid:

Thanks for the list! Where is your other post? I couldn't find it under seeds.

I'll post it here so people won't have to hunt

Watch out for these too!

Helianthus Annus - Latin

Tournesol - French

Potassium Oleate - Gentle foaming agent from sunflower

Sodium Olefin Sulfonate - Gentle cleanser from sunflower

Grindelia Robusta - Wild sunflower (Unsure if would cause reaction but better safe than sorry)

Most Aveda products and ALL of their hair color-related products are sunflower oil-based. You'd think that a brand-specific salon receptionist would be remotely prepared to field questions about ingredients, or at least know whom to ask.

Hey Ra3chel,
Where did you get the Aveda info? I looked online and found only the color conserve products having sunflower. I certainly don't need to be exposing myself to any more sunflower!!
