How is carthamus tinctorius oil made?
The production of refined safflower oil begins with the careful selection of safflower seeds. After harvesting, the seeds are cleaned and pressed to extract the oil. This crude oil still contains impurities and is therefore refined. During the refining process, unwanted components such as free fatty acids, phospholipids, and colorants are removed. This is done through various steps such as deacidification, neutralization, bleaching, and deodorization. The result is a clear, odorless oil that is ideal for applications where purity and stability are crucial.
The function of safflower oil refined
Refined safflower oil is rich in linoleic acid, an essential omega-6 fatty acid that plays an important role in the health of the skin and body. Using this oil in cosmetic products can help restore the skin’s natural barrier, reduce inflammation and promote hydration. It is also often used in food products for its neutral flavor and high smoke point, making it suitable for both baking and frying. Safflower oil is also valued in pharmaceutical products for its stability and ability to carry active ingredients without reducing their effectiveness.
