Safflower oil is an oil extracted from the seeds of the safflower plant and has been used in traditional medicine and cosmetic applications throughout history. The safflower plant was cultivated in ancient Egypt and various parts of the Middle East. In the modern era, safflower oil is used in skin and hair care, as well as in health products due to its nutritional properties.

Safflower grows naturally in various regions of the Middle East, India and Africa. These regions are where the high quality and nutritious seeds of the safflower plant are obtained. Today, safflower is grown in many different climates around the world.

Production: Safflower oil is obtained by cold pressing. Cold pressing preserves the natural nutrients and effective components of the oil, ensuring a high quality product. The mature and dry seeds of the safflower plant are used in the production of the oil. These seeds provide the characteristic light and slightly sweet odor of the oil.

Color, Aroma and Fragrance: Safflower oil is usually light yellow to dark yellow in color and the odor can be mild and neutral. Some variations may have a slightly sweet odor, but overall it has a mild profile. Safflower oil is often used as a carrier oil and the fragrance note can be light and neutral. Its aroma strength is low, making it ideal for blending with other oils and using in various formulations.

Storage: It is recommended that carrier oils obtained by cold pressing be stored in a cool, dark place to preserve freshness and achieve maximum shelf life. If stored in the refrigerator, bring to room temperature before use.
