Many of us have heard comments about ‘good’ and ‘bad’ oils in both our diets and beauty products, but with all the information about saturated, unsaturated, monosaturated, hydrogenated, synthetic, petrochemical etc. . .  it may be hard to remember what’s what. 

As a rule, if the oil comes from a plant and is healthy for eating, it’s beneficial for your skin as well.  Safflower is a very soothing oil which can be high in Oleic Acid, a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid.  Certified Organic Safflower Oil is a highly moisturizing oil and is an exceptional addition to both your diet and your natural skin care regime.
