In a series of studies beginning in

1929, George and Mildred Burr determined

the essentiality of certain fatty acids

by feeding rats diets that were entirely

devoid of fat. These fat-deprived rats

developed visible skin abnormalities,

increased water loss across their skin,

also referred to as transepidermal water

loss. They also experienced stunted

growth and impaired reproduction. They

discovered that by feeding these rats

rescue diets of oils rich in certain

polyunsaturated fatty acids, namely

linoleic acid, that they could

completely reverse the skin defects in

these deficient animals.

And they noted that oils containing only

saturated fatty acids like coconut oil

or butter did not help the rats. In this

video, I am going to discuss safflower

oil. It is a potent polyunsaturated fat

extremely high in linoleic acid and

belongs in the class of essential fatty

acids called omega sixes. You'll learn

all about the importance of its linoleic

acid benefits to your skin. I hope you

will share this video in an effort to

bring about awareness to others

regarding the power of natural products

to enhance beauty.

Hi everybody, it's Linda. Welcome back

to Tips for You. Well, I have a superior

beauty product to share with you today.

I think you're going to want to run

right out and buy it immediately. It's a

fantastic skin care product and it's

also good for your body as well. And I

will talk about the benefits for your

body a little later in the video, but

I'm going to talk about the benefits for

your skin first. And it's called

safflower oil. Safflower oil is a plant

oil. It comes from the safflower plant

actually from the seeds of the plant and

they squeeze the seeds and they extract

the oil and it's been used for many

years um in food and cosmetics and it

contains something called linoleic acid.

Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid

and safflower oil has the highest

content of linoleic acid of all oils.

It's wonderful for your skin.

Linoleic acid is extremely important for

the integrity of your skin for helping

to prevent aging and wrinkles. It helps

to keep your lipid barrier healthy. It

prevents transepidermal water loss. Um,

which is a big factor in balancing your

stratum corneium or the outer layer of

your skin and keeping it healthy because

when you disrupt that layer of your skin

that can lead to all kinds of skin

inflammations and problems, wrinkles,

dry skin. So you always want to maintain

that barrier. That barrier protects you

from the world, from pathogens, from

aging, from the sun. Okay. So ladies, I

just want to say those of you that are

using retina, you know from my video

that I am not a fan of it, but if you

have detrimentally

um harmed your skin with it um and

caused that outer layer of skin to get

dermatitis and peel and and it's

thinning, this safflower oil could be

something that you want to consider to

help restore that layer of skin. And I

get a lot of women writing to me and

telling me all of the problems they have

with their skin because of retina,

thanking me for that video. And you're

welcome. So happy to have shared it with

you. Um, this is something that you can

consider. Always do a patch test first

because you are in an inflamed

um state and you don't want to get an

allergic reaction. In general, safflower

oil is very well tolerated and does not

cause allergic reactions. Now inside

your skin um is a layer of lipids called

ceramides. The precursor to developing

those ceramides which are that important

lipid layer to keep your skin youthful

and young is linoleic acid. I can't tell

you how important this is for your body.

In fact, I was reading that there was a

19-year-old man who was on an

intravenous fat-free um like IV solution

for a a number of of months and he

developed an essential fatty acid

deficiency which um showed itself in his

body as you know severe dermatitis and

eczema and problems with his scalp uh

and gray hair. Within 3 weeks of

treatment by applying safflower oil to

his epidermis, to his skin, he reversed

the essential fatty acid deficiency. He

reversed the eczema, the the psoriasis,

the dermatitis, the uh scalp problems

that he was having and the gray hair.

So, this is very very healing. What I

love about safflower oil, it is not

heavy. Those of you who like to use

olive oil, and I've used olive oil, too.

I like using it on my skin, but you know

how heavy it can just sit, right? It

doesn't absorb and sometimes you have to

blot it off. But not with safflower oil.

It's light. Um, and it absorbs

beautifully into the skin. Actually,

they have found that olive oil can

initiate transepidermal water loss. So,

for that, it's not helpful. It can make

you lose water through the skin. It

enhances that. but not safflower oil.

Safflower oil helps keep that moisture

barrier, helps retain the moisture. It's

much better for your skin in that way.

And it's not heavy and greasy. So, when

you put it on, I put it on when I come

out of my shower. It absorbs and

disappears very quickly. Leaves you very

hydrated and soft. For use on your skin,

just wash your face like you normally

do. Pat it dry. And when you're done

patting it dry right then put a little

bit of the safflower oil in your hand

and massage it into your face. You'll

see how wonderful your skin will look.

Um ladies, if you have acne, see this is

great for women of all ages because it's

non-comtogenic and it heals acne. Yes,

heals acne. How can a fat You're saying

how can a fat or an oil heal acne? Well,

it does because of its high linoleic

acid content. They found that in people

who have acne, they have low levels of

linoleic acid in the skin and they think

that that can promote the development of

acne. So with the application of

safflower oil to the skin, you can raise

your levels of linoleic acid in the body

and in the skin and it heals the acne.

So it's amazing that an oil that you

would think would clog your pores would

heal acne. Also another wonderful

benefit of using safflower oil on the

skin is that it lightens your skin and

it lightens it naturally. Many women are

using hydroquinone on your skin which is

a pharmaceutical drug that has been

banned in many countries cause because

of the risk of causing cancer. Despite

that people are still using it and it

can cause damage to your melanocytes

which are the things that protect you

from the UV light. Sometimes you can get

white patches. You can get a disease

where your skin gets grayed. Um, you can

look into it, but it's something that I

would never use. People are also using

glycolic acid on their skin. Again,

these are very harsh um disruptive

chemicals that you use that will disrupt

your stratum corneium or the um outer

layer of your epidermis that protects

you from the environment that balances

your skin that's responsible for you

having youthful wrinkle-free skin. Okay?

Be kind to it. Is not something that you

want to constantly, you know, wear off

to the bone. That is not the way of

youthful, healthy skin. You want to

fortify that barrier to your skin and

you want to help keep it balanced and

you want to keep the moisture in.

Anyway, safflower oil helps lighten your

skin. It helps fade hyperpigmentation of

the skin. Um, the best way for you to

fade hyperpigmentation is to keep your

face out of the sun or areas of your

face that have it by using a block. I

every day put on Zinca, a tinted zinc

nose coat and I put it over my lip

because I have gotten hyperpigmentation

there. Um, I developed it probably when

I was around 30 years old, so I was

quite young and um, it was probably just

from sun exposure. You know, whatever

area of your face is more prominently

exposed to the sun, which this area is

for me, you can get pigment spots there.

It's just, you know, how much exposure

it's very, your skin is very sensitive

to the sun. That's what helps, you know,

you get vitamin D and all the nutrients

that you need from the sun. And in your

face and in your neck, the melanocytes

are located very close to the surface

layer of your skin, whereas like on your

legs and and your body, they're located

deeper. So, you have less of the

development of those brown spots. But on

your face and neck, you can develop them

very easily. That's why, you know, you

should wear a hat and make sure you

don't get the sun on your face all the

time because you will develop it over

the years and some people develop

hyperpigmentation faster and more than

others. So, the safflower oil, if you

apply it, you will see a wonderful

difference in your skin, a lightening

effect because you are suppressing the

tyroinesise which activates the

melanocytes in your skin and it's

natural. Okay. You're also getting a UV

sunblock. Safflower oil has a 20% UV

sunblock. It's very high in vitamin E.

Um, safflower oil. So, vitamin E is a

very potent antioxidant. Um, and it

helps prevent free radical damage to

your skin and damage that's caused by

ultraviolet light causes free radical

damage to your skin and safflower oil

prevents that. It's a wonderful

moisturizer. I can't say enough

wonderful things about it. That's why I

want to share it with you. I've been

using it for a while and it just healed

my rough I had some rough skin on the

heel of my foot from walking a lot on

the beach at the shore was completely

healed. So, you just put a little put

some on your heels at night when you go

to bed and put some socks on um to keep

it and you will heal your skin. It's

it's wonderful for that. Now, just to

show you how permeable your skin is,

they have tested people after the

application of safflower oil and have

found that it has raised the content of

linoleic acid in their bodies. They

actually use safflower oil on pre-term

infants, little um preeies that have

essential fatty acid uh problems in the

skin, and they put the safflower oil on

the skin to help raise the baby's

essential fatty acid profile. It's very

helpful to to infants that they increase

their body fat and that they grow. Um

they also use it in people who have

malnutrition. They can put it right on

the skin and you know when you use it

inside the body when you take it, it has

an effect on the body but a lot of it

gets processed through the liver. So you

know you lose like 50 or 60% of its

effects by the time it reaches your

skin. So applying it to your skin is the

shortcut for getting it right into those

skin layers, right into your lipid

profile to help prevent your water loss,

to help restore your ceramides, to help

those building blocks that keep your

skin attached and supple, okay? And

healthy.

So now I've talked to you about the

wonderful benefits of safflower oil for

your skin. Let me tell you about how

beneficial it is for your body. Number

one, linoleic acid content of safflower

oil. Helps you lose weight. A 16-week

study conducted at Ohio State University

on 35 post-menopausal obese women with

type 2 diabetes proved that taking

safflower oil reduced the weight of fat

in their trunk area by an average of 2.6

6 to 4.2 lb and increased their lean

muscle tissue by up to 3 lb. And taking

safflower oil significantly lowered

their fasting glucose level, something

that's very important for diabetics. In

this study, these women uh took a

teaspoon and 2/3 one and 2/3 teaspoon

daily for 16 weeks. They found that not

changing anything else, so no diet

changes and no other exercise at all.

And they had weight loss, they had a

gain in muscle mass, and they had a gain

in bone density. Now, that's pretty

amazing from adding safflower oil to

your diet and only a teaspoon and 2/3 a

day. It shows you the importance of

essential fatty acids in our bodies and

in our diets. And it's so unfortunate

that we were led to believe for so many

years that fats were detrimental for our

health and we went, you know, cascading

into fat-free diets and developed all

kinds of problems. But by adding fats

back into your diet, I think you can

resolve a number of problems. And I'm

not saying go crazy because you can gain

weight if you have too many fats. It's

definitely um something you want to

watch. But, you know, having them with

meals, cooking with safflower oil, it

has a very high heating point. Um, of

all oils, you can heat this one the

highest before it burns, I think, to

450.

I'll look for you. To up to 445°,

mine says. I use the safflower seed oil

that I buy at Whole Foods. It's not

expensive. Um, this is a 1.05 05 quart.

So, it's a little over a quart. It's

about a liter. And I cook with it and I

use it in my salads. Um, it has

absolutely no taste. So, it's wonderful

if you want to cook with it like to make

brownies or any kind of breads or

whatever. Um, this is a wonderful oil

and it's great for frying. I don't fry,

but those of you that do, you've got

that high heating point before you have

any oxidative damage. It's very stable

oil. Um, no smell, neutral taste and a

very long shelf life and it's um,

expeller pressed. So, this one is

refined and I I looked into the

unrefined versus the refined for you.

Unrefined means it was not filtered. It

has a very short shelf life. You cannot

cook with it. Be careful that you don't

buy the safflower oil that you cannot

eat. There are ones that are just used

for massaging and you you cannot ingest

them. So, you want to use the one that's

good for cooking. So, you can use it on

your skin and you can cook with it. And

that's the one I recommend. In addition

to weight loss and fat loss, there are

more health benefits of adding safflower

oil to your diet, including improving

your cardiovascular health. Safflower

oil helps thin the blood, helping to

prevent clogging of the arteries. It

also lowers cholesterol including

helping to lower LDL cholesterol which

is considered the bad cholesterol and it

helps lower blood pressure. Um chi in

Chinese medicine they actually use it to

help menstrual flow um to help it you

know flow out better to help reduce

clots. um not to be graphic but um many

women do experience that during the

permenopausal years and this will help

thin them and it helps the body ex you

know helps blood flow it helps blood

circulation and blood flow in the body

so if it prevents clots in your veins

and it helps for heart disease then it

does that as well for your menstrual

cycle it's also helpful for improving

diabetes as I mentioned earlier it

lowers blood sugar levels it helps

promote weight loss fat loss and

increase muscle mass and it increases

insulin sensitivity and decreases A1C

and it has also been shown to reduce

inflammation in the body as measured by

a reduction in C reactive protein.

And lastly, it helps prevent cancer

because it helps encourage the death of

of cancer cells called apoptosis where

the you know it's the dying off of

cancer cells with the application of the

safflower oil. So these are all such

amazing amazing things. Um I think we

all should be very aware of getting

enough essential fatty acids in our diet

and just a teaspoon a day well a

teaspoon and 2/3 is what they

recommended in that study. But even just

a teaspoon a day makes a difference.

Remember it's over time. Give it 3

weeks. Give it time to have an effect in

your body and you'll see the difference

in your hair. Right? Get rid of gray

hair. We can have younger skin. We can

lose weight, build muscle, improve our

our brain function. Essential fatty

acids are so important. And it is a

wonderful oil. I hope that you're going
