PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A clear, yellow oil with hardly any aroma that is made by pressing the seeds of the Safflower plant. The oil is sometimes called Safflower Oil.

- Oil soluble so cannot be used in water only products. It can be used in small amounts in water based gels that will hold it in suspension.
- Heat stable so can be used in Stage 1 (fat stage) when making creams and lotions.
Thistle Oil blends very well with high GLA oils like Borage Oil and Evening Primrose Oil for rejuvenating damaged skin.

HOW TO USE IT
Skin Care
- Thistle Oil helps to soften the skin.
- As an effective moisturiser, it maintains hydration levels in the skin thus reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- It is soothing on the skin and can help improve skin tone and texture.
- Thistle Oil is an excellent choice to use on acne prone skin as it does not block the pores.
- In massage blends, it is a good idea to add it for every massage as it is so functional but combine it with other oils to give greater slip and glide.
Hair Care
- Thistle Oil contains high levels of Omega 6 which is good for moisturising the hair and scalp.
- A few drops of the oil can be rubbed between the palms and scrunched into dry hair or massaged into wet hair to stimulate the roots and hair follicles.
