Refined safflower oil is the processed version of crude safflower oil. The refining process includes filtering out impurities and neutralizing the taste and odor, making it more suitable for culinary use. It's known for its high monounsaturated fat content, particularly high-oleic acid varieties, and has a high smoke point.

Therefore it is ideal for high-heat cooking and frying. Refined Safflower Oil is also used in food applications, supplements, and cosmetics. It's nearly odorless, flavorless, and has a longer shelf life compared to its unrefined counterpart.
