General safety info about Safflower Seed Oil from CIR

The CIR Expert Panel assessed the safety of 244 Plant-Derived Fatty Acid Oils as used in cosmetics. Oils are used in a wide variety of cosmetic products for their skin conditioning, occlusive, emollient, and moisturizing properties. Since many of these oils are edible, and their systemic toxicity potential low, the review of the Panel focused on their potential dermal effects. The Expert Panel concluded that 241 of the 244 Plant-Derived Fatty Acid Oils are safe as used in cosmetics. Chemical composition data, particularly fatty acid profiles, were absent for 3 of the oils; therefore, these oils were found to have insufficient data for a determination of safety.
