Experience the Unique Benefits of Safflower Oil

Are you an artist or crafter looking for a high-quality oil that will take your work to the next level? Look no further than our Safflower Oil! This lightly refined oil is extracted from safflower oilseeds (Carthamus tinctorius) cultivated in North America, resulting in a clear, pale yellow oil with a bland odor. Perfect for creating unique oil colors and whites, Safflower Oil is a popular choice among artists due to its fast-drying properties and versatility.

What Sets Safflower Oil Apart

While other oils may yellow over time, Safflower Oil remains pale and vibrant, making it an excellent choice for artists who want to achieve a specific color profile. The primary fatty acid in Safflower Oil is linoleic acid (C18:2), which is responsible for its fast-drying properties and makes it an excellent binding agent. With a high linoleic acid content of over 70%, this oil is perfect for creating oil colors and whites that will stand the test of time.

A Brief History of Safflower Oil in Painting

Although Safflower Oil was introduced into painting in the mid-twentieth century, it has quickly become a beloved staple among artists. This oil is extracted from the seeds of the safflower plant (Carthamus tinctorius L.), a highly branched, herbaceous, thistle-like annual plant that is commercially cultivated for its oil. With its unique properties and versatility, Safflower Oil has become a go-to choice for artists looking to create unique and vibrant oil colors.
