Safflower Oil
$13.00
Safflower oil is pressed from the seeds of the safflower plant and is commonly used in body care formulations. Many makers choose it when they want a very lightweight oil that absorbs quickly and keeps formulations from feeling heavy. It is often used to balance richer oils and butters in blends.
About this ingredient
Safflower oil is typically pale yellow with a very mild aroma. It has a thin consistency that spreads easily across the skin. Compared with many carrier oils, it oxidizes more quickly, so makers often combine it with more stable oils when building formulations.
