Safflower oil

Safflower oil (CAS 8001-23-8 ), also marketed as Saffola, is a pale, edible vegetable oil cold-pressed or solvent-extracted from the seeds of Carthamus tinctorius. It is commercially available in both high-oleic and high-linoleic variants, each targeting distinct industrial end uses. Buyers source it primarily as a functional oil for food formulation, cosmetic emollients, and drying oil applications in coatings. In food manufacturing, high-linoleic safflower oil is used in salad dressings, margarine, and cooking oil blends. These applications require a light flavor profile and high smoke point. The high-oleic grade is preferred in cosmetic and personal care formulations such as face oils, lotions, and hair serums where its skin-compatible fatty acid profile supports moisturizing. In industrial coatings and alkyd resin production, the high-linoleic type functions as a semi-drying oil. This contributes to film formation in paints and varnishes, providing a renewable alternative to synthetic components. Lubricant formulators also incorporate it into bio-based metalworking fluids as a renewable base fluid. Safflower oil is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid in bulk totes, drums, and flexi-tanks for global distribution. Food-grade and USP / BP grades are available for regulated applications, while technical-grade material serves industrial coatings and lubricant markets. These standards ensure the product meets strict purity requirements. High-oleic and high-linoleic variants are specified separately to meet specific formulation needs. Buyers should confirm the fatty acid profile against application requirements to ensure optimal performance in their final products. Contact us for supply of Safflower oil Request Quote
