Points of Interest:

Safflower is one of humanity’s oldest crops going back 4,000 years ago in ancient Egypt. Chemical analysis of ancient Egyptian textiles dated to the Twelfth Dynasty identified dyes made from safflower, and garlands made from safflowers were found in the tomb of the pharaoh Tutankhamun [1]. Native to many parts of Asia, Middle East, and Africa, the safflower plant is referred to as “kusum” in India (derived from the Sanskrit word “kusumbha”) and as “Hong Hua 红花” in China. The medicinal properties of safflower have been discovered as early as the Middle Ages, where the juice of safflower plant is mixed with chicken stock or sweetened water to relieve constipation and respiratory problems [2]. In traditional Chinese medicine, safflower petals are believed to stimulate blood circulation, reduce phlegm, and heal fractures [3]. There are two types of safflower plant: (1) the oil-producing type rich in monounsaturated fatty acids or oleic acid, and (2) the type with high concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids or linoleic acid. Currently the predominant edible safflower oil market is for the former. Our safflower oil are the later with high content of linoleic acid making it ideal for boosting the quality and appearance of your skin.
