Full Description

High-oleic safflower oil (CAS 8001-23-8), a fixed vegetable oil from Carthamus tinctorius selected for elevated monounsaturated (oleic) content and improved oxidative stability. It is supplied as an edible oil, a cosmetic emollient and carrier oil, and an oleochemical feedstock.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between safflower oil and high-oleic safflower oil?

Both are pressed from Carthamus tinctorius, but high-oleic safflower oil (CAS 8001-23-8) is from varieties selected for elevated monounsaturated (oleic) acid content versus the linoleic-dominant standard type. The higher oleic content gives it greater oxidative stability, which is why it is preferred for high-stability applications.

What is high-oleic safflower oil used for?

It is supplied as an edible oil for cooking and food formulation where oxidative stability matters, as a lightweight cosmetic emollient and carrier oil for skin care, and as an oleochemical feedstock and source of oleic acid and derivatives.

Is high-oleic safflower oil water-soluble?

No. It is a fixed (non-volatile) triglyceride oil and is oil-soluble; it is used in the oil phase of formulations or neat. Its high oleic content makes it more resistant to oxidation than linoleic-rich oils, but standard oxidation-control practices still apply.

What grades and packaging are available for bulk high-oleic safflower oil?

It is offered in food/edible and cosmetic grades, and may be available refined or organic-certified, in packaging from pails to drums, totes, and bulk. Confirm the grade, fatty-acid (oleic) profile, and any certifications on the CoA when requesting a quote.

How is bulk high-oleic safflower oil quoted and documented?

As a commodity vegetable oil, pricing tracks crop, grade, and order volume and is quoted per lot rather than at a fixed list price. Submit a bulk RFQ with your target quantity, grade, and packaging for a current quote, CoA, and SDS.
