Decor Outdoor offers free regular shipping on all orders shipped to residential or commercial addresses within the contiguous United States. Orders are delivered Monday through Friday (excluding holidays).Drop Shipping
We are an online-only luxury furniture and lighting boutique, and do not have a warehouse. Consequently, all orders are drop shipped directly from our manufacturers to your door. If your order includes items from more than one manufacturer, you will receive multiple deliveries. Because we are dependent on the on-hand inventory of our manufacturing partners, some items listed on our site may not actually be available right away. Please call us at 888.784.4644 or via our contact form with any stocking questions and we'll get in touch with the appropriate manufacturer for answers, before you place your order.Ground Shipping
Small parcel items ship regular ground via delivery services such as FedEx, UPS or DHL. Orders typically take 2-3 business days to process and in-stock items will usually be delivered 3-5 days from the date that they ship (depending on origin and destination). If there is a delay, you will be notified by email. No signature is required for standard ground shipping, so you may want to make arrangements to have packages brought inside soon after delivery, if you are unable to receive it in person.Composition and care

We speak a lot about the importance of gut health—not only for beauty—but also in terms of our overall health, wellbeing and immunity. But before we can fully understand why the gut is so integral to our health, it’s first essential to learn more about the physiology of the gut itself—and how it works.
Description
Overview of Sunflower Oil:
Sunflower oil (Helianthus annuus) is a non-volatile oil extracted from sunflower seeds. It is widely used both as a cooking oil and as an emollient in cosmetic products. The oil primarily consists of linoleic acid (a polyunsaturated fat) and oleic acid (a monounsaturated fat). Different production methods and selective breeding can alter the fatty acid composition of the oil. Sunflower oil is known for its neutral flavor and high vitamin E content. It is suitable for high-temperature cooking, with a smoke point of approximately 225°C.
A Brief History:
Sunflowers are native to the Americas, with cultivation dating back to around 1000 BC by native peoples. By the 1800s, sunflower seeds had reached Europe, where Russian farmers began selective breeding to increase the oil content of the seeds.
Health Benefits of Sunflower Oil:
- Energy Boost: Sunflower oil contains unsaturated fats that enhance stamina and provide energy. It helps the liver release glycogen, a form of sugar that boosts energy levels.
- Cardiovascular Health: The monounsaturated fats and beneficial fatty acids in sunflower oil support heart health by maintaining a balanced body and reducing the risk of heart disease. It also helps control cholesterol levels due to its lack of saturated fats.
- Nutrient-Rich: Sunflower oil is rich in essential nutrients, including vitamin A, omega-6 fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fats. It provides a higher amount of vitamin E compared to many other vegetable oils.
- Digestive Health: As a light and nutritious oil high in monounsaturated fatty acids, sunflower oil is easier to digest and absorb than alternatives like butter or margarine.
Benefits for Hair and Skin:
- Skincare: Sunflower oil is abundant in vitamins E and A, which act as antioxidants. It helps kill acne-causing bacteria and promotes skin cell regeneration. Its non-greasy, lightweight nature makes it suitable for moisturizing dry or sensitive skin without clogging pores.
- Haircare: As a natural conditioner, sunflower oil can soften damaged or unruly hair and enhance shine. It contains gamma-linolenic acid, which may help prevent hair loss.
Conclusion:
Sunflower oil is a versatile and healthy choice for cooking, skincare, and haircare. Its high nutritional value and various health benefits make it a valuable addition to a balanced diet and wellness routine.
