"Safflower glycerides' means monoglycerides, glycerol esters of fatty acids obtained from 'Safflower oil', the oil of safflower (also known as safflower oil - see below).

The monoglycerides are used in cosmetic formulations. They act as emollients (making the skin smooth and supple) and as emulsifiers (surface-active substances which are used as additives in cosmetic products to combine two immiscible liquids - e.g. oil and water - to form an emulsion).
