Safflower oil, certified organic

Organic safflower oil is extracted from the seeds of the Carthamus tinctorius plant, a flowering crop cultivated for centuries. Known for its light texture and neutral aroma, safflower oil has become a popular ingredient in natural skincare and haircare formulations. With a high concentration of linoleic acid (omega‑6) and other essential fatty acids, it is widely used in DIY beauty recipes for its smooth application and moisturising properties.

Skincare Uses

Lightweight and fast‑absorbing: Safflower oil is known for its non‑greasy texture, making it a suitable addition to facial serums, lotions, and body oils.

Rich in linoleic acid: With a high content of omega‑6 fatty acids, it is often used in formulations designed to support the skin’s natural barrier and hydration levels.

Suitable for most skin types: Its gentle, lightweight nature makes it a popular choice for sensitive and combination skin.

Haircare Uses

Nourishing and conditioning: Often included in haircare formulations, safflower oil is said to help maintain softness and improve overall hair manageability.

Scalp hydration: It is sometimes used in scalp treatments where lightweight moisture is desired without weighing down the hair.

Additional Uses

Versatile ingredient: Safflower oil is frequently used in DIY skincare and haircare formulations due to its mild nature and smooth consistency. It blends well with essential oils and other carrier oils in serums, massage oils, and cosmetic emulsions.

Note: Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is recommended before use, especially for those with known allergies or skin sensitivities.
