Safflower Oil is a lightweight, Paraffin-free non-comedogenic botanical oil extracted from the seeds of the Carthamus tinctorius plant. It is rich in essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid (Omega-6), which supports skin hydration and elasticity while maintaining barrier function. Its quick absorption and smooth texture make it suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin. Safflower Oil is often used in facial serums, creams, and body care products to enhance moisture retention and improve skin texture without leaving a greasy residue.
