At Afro Cosmetics, we proudly provide 100% pure, cold-pressed Safflower Oil, a lightweight and fast-absorbing carrier oil perfect for daily skincare, hair treatments, massage, and cosmetic formulations. Extracted from the seeds of the Carthamus tinctorius plant, safflower oil is valued for its smooth texture, mild aroma, and non-greasy finish.
