Safflower oil is a drying or semi-drying oil derived from the seeds of a plant grown in India, Egypt, Asia Minor, the USA and Australia. It oxidises at a slower rate than linseed oil, but is a useful material for the modification of alkyd resins and is used in artists' colours. A yellow dye is derived from the flower of the safflower plant which resembles but is distinct from saffron. Research Safflower Oil
