Safflower-derived oleosome material consisting of naturally occurring lipid-protein microstructures that encapsulate oil bodies from Carthamus tinctorius. In cosmetics, it functions mainly as a skin-conditioning, emollient-delivery, and stabilizing ingredient, often used to improve sensorial feel and help slow-release lipophilic actives or emollients.
