Safflower Oil - 500ml
What is Safflower Oil?
Safflower Oil is a light, non-greasy oil extracted from the seeds of the safflower plant (Carthamus tinctorius). Known for its high linoleic acid content, this oil is prized in skincare for its ability to deeply moisturize and promote healthy skin barrier function. Because it absorbs quickly and leaves a soft finish, safflower oil is a popular choice in natural and handmade cosmetic products.
