FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Reliable Ingredient: This variety of Safflower Carrier Oil is derived from the Carthamus tinctorius seeds and is refined, bleached, deodorized, and winterized for cosmetic purposes. Its lightweight texture and high absorbency is versatile enough for skin care and hair care formulations.
High Linoleic Acid Content: Naturally rich in Linoleic Acid (Omega-6), this refined carrier oil enhances skin-feel, improves spreadability, and supports barrier function. Safflower Oil – RBDW is particularly suitable for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin types.
Fast-Absorbing & Non-Staining: With its quick absorption rate and low risk of staining, this cosmetic grade variety of Safflower Carrier Oil is ideal for massage blends, body oils, and leave-on treatments. It washes easily from fabrics, making it a practical choice for spa and massage products.
Neutral Base for Formulations: The process of refining, bleaching, deodorizing, and winterizing Safflower Oil removes impurities and color, leaving a pale hue and nearly undetectable aroma that carries essential oils, actives, and pigments seamlessly.
DESCRIPTION
Safflower Carrier Oil – RBDW is cold pressed from the seeds of the Carthamus tinctorius plant grown in Mexico and then refined, bleached, deodorized, and winterized through a physical process. Free from chemical solvents, this process removes color, aroma, and sediment, resulting in a highly stable, versatile oil catering to cosmetic formulations.
As a close relative of the Sunflower, Safflower yields an oil rich in Linoleic Acid, known for its excellent texture and compatibility with all skin types, including oily and sensitive. Its refined nature allows formulators to create clean, uniform emulsions and oil-based products without unwanted aroma or tint interference.
Safflower Carrier Oil – RBDW is favored across the cosmetic and personal care industry as a go-to base oil in moisturizers, body oils, serums, massage oils, and hair conditioners. Its combination of a light sensory profile, fast absorption, and mild skin feel makes it ideal for large-scale formulations, especially where quick dry-down and compatibility with actives are desired.
