Safflower Carrier Oil: Lightweight Hydration for Skin and Hair

Safflower Carrier Oil is a popular choice in cosmetics and aromatherapy for its exceptionally light consistency and impressive moisturizing properties. Extracted from the seeds of the safflower plant, this oil is rich in essential fatty acids. We offer both a High Oleic variety—prized by professional formulators for its enhanced stability and long shelf life—and an Organic version for those seeking certified natural ingredients. Its non-comedogenic nature means it moisturises without clogging pores, making it a go-to base for both personal DIY projects and large-scale commercial product lines.

Frequently Asked Questions About Safflower Oil

What is the difference between regular and High Oleic Safflower Oil?

High Oleic Safflower Oil has a higher percentage of monounsaturated fats (oleic acid), which makes it more stable and resistant to oxidation, giving it a longer shelf life. It is preferred for commercial formulations where long-term stability is important.

Is Safflower Oil good for acne-prone skin?

Yes. Safflower Oil is non-comedogenic and high in linoleic acid, which can help balance sebum production. It moisturises effectively without clogging pores, making it suitable for acne-prone skin.

What is the shelf life of your Safflower Carrier Oil?

High Oleic Safflower Oil typically has a shelf life of up to two years when stored properly, while the Organic version has a shelf life of around one year.

Is this Safflower Oil suitable for food or cooking?

No. Our carrier oils are intended for cosmetic and aromatherapy use only. They are not food-grade and should not be consumed.

Do you provide documentation like a Certificate of Analysis for bulk orders?

Yes. Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and other documentation are provided for wholesale and bulk orders to ensure quality and compliance in your formulations.
