About this ingredient

Oleosomes are lipid-rich cellular structures extracted from safflower (Carthamus tinctorius) seeds, containing natural oils, proteins, and bioactive compounds. In cosmetic formulations, they function as an emollient and skin conditioning agent, providing moisture, nourishment, and a smooth skin feel. They are valued for their linoleic acid content and ability to support skin barrier function.
