As summer settles in and the fields begin to sway with golden blooms, there’s one flower that stands tall, both in spirit and skincare. The humble sunflower, with its bright, sun-chasing face and deep roots in the English countryside, is more than just a seasonal icon. At Bramley, we’ve harnessed the gentle, nurturing power of this remarkable plant to bring light and nourishment to your skin, whatever the weather.
Why Sunflowers?
Sunflower seed oil is a beautifully balanced ingredient, rich in essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid, which helps to reinforce the skin’s natural barrier and lock in moisture. It’s lightweight, easily absorbed, and wonderfully soothing, making it ideal for all skin types, including those on the more sensitive side.
But its magic doesn’t stop there. Naturally packed with vitamin E, sunflower oil offers antioxidant protection to help guard against environmental stress and early signs of ageing, keeping skin soft, supple, and resilient.
Where You’ll Find It
Sunflower shines brightest in our Replenishing Body Balm. A rich, comforting formula that melts into the skin to restore hydration and smoothness. As a special treat, we're giving you the chance to try our beautiful Sunflower Replenishing Body Balm for free. Simply spend £65 before adding the balm to your basket, and enter the code BODYBALMGIFT at checkout where the price will be deducted, making it yours at no extra cost.

You’ll also find it playing a supporting (but essential) role in a number of our favourite Skin by Bramley products:
• Our Clementine Antioxidant Cleansing Balm, where it calms and softens as it cleanses
• The deeply nourishing Raspberry Seed Face Oil and Cloudberry Balancing Face Cream, where it helps soothe, hydrate, and support your skin’s natural radiance.
• And in our Marigold Purifying Face Mask, where sunflower’s gentle touch brings calm to even the most stressed-out complexions.
A Little Sunshine, bottled
Much like the flower itself, sunflower seed oil is a quiet but powerful force. It’s the perfect companion for skin that needs a little love, whether you’ve spent the day in the garden, by the sea, or simply under the sun.
