Neutral · Plant fat

Vegetable oil

Also appears on labels as: sunflower oil, organic sunflower oil, sunflower seed oil, canola oil, soybean oil, hemp seed oil

Oil pressed or solvent-extracted from oilseeds.

Watched ingredients get highlighted on every product panel you open.

Where it comes from
Oilseed crushing plants.
Why it's in the product
Energy plus linoleic acid, the omega-6 fatty acid dogs and cats require for skin barrier function.
Safety and toxicity
Safe. The nutritional critique is balance: these oils are omega-6 heavy, and a formula that leans on them without a matching omega-3 source skews the ratio in a direction most nutritionists would rather avoid. Plain vegetable oil with no plant named is a small transparency ding.
