No problem w/ oil: If you are allergic to sunflower seed, you may still eat or cook with the highly purified oil.  The allergy is to the proteins in the sunflower seed.  Highly purified sunflower oil should not contain any significant protein.  However, in very highly sensitive patients with a history of a severe reaction, it may be best to avoid the sunflower oil as well.

Question 10

can you tell me if i could use skincare products with almond oil if i have a nut allergy?

Accepted Answer

Avoid: I would avoid topical skin care preparations with food products in them entirely, especially if you have any atopic skin conditions like eczema. If applied to open or damaged skin, these food based products can cause you to become sensitized to the food itself, putting you at risk for developing an allergy. I recommend fragrant-free, dye-free products like Vanicream, Aquaphor, Eucerin, or Cetaphil
