Carthamus tinctorius
SAFFLOWER

Safflower is a thistle-like plant from the compositae family, with a seed that is highly concentrated in a fatty acid rich oil. The presence of helianol (a component of triterpene alcohols present in the flowers) gives safflower a strong anti-inflammatory effect on the skin.

Safflower oil is a plant derived emollient that mimics the lipid content of the skin. It helps stabilize and maintain the structure of the skin's complex inter-cellular matrix, preventing moisture loss and cell damage and promoting skin's soft, smooth, healthy appearance.
