General information about the safflower oil.
The safflower oil is a light, odorless, flavorless and colorless cold-pressed oil made from white seeds of the
safflower plant. Safflower oil contains more polyunsaturates than any other vegetable oil, and it has a high
smoke point making it ideal for deep frying, and is favored for salad dressing because it does not solidify
when chilled. However, safflower oil lacks vitamin E, making it less nutritional than other oils on the market.
Since the safflower oil is odorless, light, and quick to absorb, it is becoming more popular and favored in the skincare field.
