Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.is a highly branched, herbaceousthistle-like annual. It is commercially cultivated for vegetable oil extracted from the seeds. Plants are 30 to 150 cm (12 to 59 in) tall with globular flower heads having yellow, orange, or red flowers. Each branch will usually have from one to five flower heads containing 15 to 20 seeds per head. Safflower is native to arid environments having seasonal rain. It grows a deep taproot which enables it to thrive in such environments.Safflower Oil (Carthamus tinctorius) comes from the seeds of an herbaceous thistle like annual flower.  Safflower oil is polyunsaturated oil that is similar to sunflower oil in nutrient values and shelf life.  Safflower and Sunflower are relatively unstable when exposed to high heat, light or oxygen.  Both safflower and sunflower are good to use in low heat or no heat formulas.  Safflower oil contains the monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid oleic acid (78.9%), unsaturated omega-6 fatty acid linoleic (11%), palmitic acid (6.2%) and linolenic (.02%).
