Safflower Oil is one of many carrier oils
used in massage, aromatherapy,
and other body-work treatments.
Safflower
Oil (from Carthamus tinctorius L.)
is a fluid, unsaturated oil, extracted by cold expression of the seeds,
whose composition is similar to that of Sunflower
Oil.
It has very little (bland) odour,
and may be used as a massage carrier oil - including in cases of eczema
and rough skin [64]. However, a disadvantage
of Safflower Oil is that it does not keep for long and may become unstable
if not kept sufficiently cool.

Oils for Massage and Bodywork Therapies. |
