ℹ️General Overview

For adults (grown-ups), safflower oleosomes are plant-based moisturizers and are usually safe to use on the skin. Most evidence shows low risk for cancer, allergies, and effects on a baby during pregnancy, but the data in people are limited.

What to Do

Do a small patch test on the inside of your forearm and wait 24–48 hours before using widely. Use as directed on product labels. Don’t put products with this ingredient on cuts, open wounds, or badly irritated skin. If you get redness, itching, burning or a rash, stop using it. If you use spray products, avoid breathing in the mist.

⚠️Warnings

Watch for skin redness, stinging, swelling, or a rash. A European chemicals review found limited evidence it can irritate skin or eyes, and some scientific (peer-reviewed) animal studies showed skin changes at higher doses and immune effects at high doses. A U.S. regulatory review found it unlikely to cause genetic mutation, although one peer-reviewed source reported limited evidence of mutation. These findings come from regulatory reviews and peer-reviewed scientific studies, so stop use and talk to a doctor if you have concerns or a reaction.

Safety Risk Labels

This ingredient has the following documented risks:

Absorbed: Peer-reviewed sources and the ingredient profile note enhanced skin absorption. That means the ingredient (and things mixed with it) can pass through baby skin and into the body more easily.
Irritant: The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) reports limited evidence that this ingredient can cause skin, eye, or lung irritation. For sensitive baby skin, even limited irritation risk matters.
Immune system: Peer-reviewed animal studies show immune or allergic effects at higher doses, which suggests this ingredient can trigger or change immune responses in some cases.
Eczema: Animal studies report skin (integumentary) changes at moderate doses and immune/allergic effects at higher doses in peer-reviewed research. Those findings mean the ingredient could trigger or worsen eczema in sensitive children.
