Carthamus Tinctorius Oleosomes

What Carthamus Tinctorius Oleosomes is & what it does

Carthamus Tinctorius Oleosomes are intact oil-storage structures extracted from safflower seeds, where the natural oil sits inside a protective membrane. In cosmetic formulas they are commonly used as a natural delivery and emollient system, releasing safflower oil onto the skin over time. This can give a lightweight moisturizing feel and help carry oil-soluble actives.
