Carrot Seed Oil is a therapeutic-grade essential oil extracted from the dried seeds of Daucus carota, a wild carrot species. Known for its earthy, herbaceous, and slightly woody aroma, this oil is widely used in skincare and aromatherapy due to its regenerative and detoxifying properties. It is particularly beneficial for dry, aging, and environmentally damaged skin.
Rich in carotol and other potent constituents, Carrot Seed Oil enhances the skin’s natural healing processes and is prized for its revitalizing effects. It also acts as a natural fixative in perfumery.
