What are carrot seed oil and root extract?

Carrot seed essential oil

Carrot seed oil is extracted via steam distillation from the seeds of the Daucus carota plant. This plant is also known as the wild carrot and is a member of the Apiaceae family. The oil is a pale yellow to orange in colour and has a slightly woody aroma and earthy scent. This steam distilled oil is often used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation and reduce stress. It blends well with other essential oils.

Carrot seed essential oil, especially cold-pressed oil has an earthy and slightly spicy fragrance with tons of health benefits.

Carrot root extract

Carrot extract is another powerful anti-aging ingredient. The extract is produced by macerating the freshly extracted carrot juice in a carrier oil. It nourishes, tightens and rejuvenates skin while providing natural healing properties to help heal skin tissue. It helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, as well as improve elasticity and skin tone.

Carrot seeds (daucus carota) are full of antifungal and anti inflammatory properties that help with fighting acne and soothe eczema.

What are the benefits of using carrot oil and root extract in your skincare products?

Overall, carrot oil & extract are great ingredients for anti-aging skincare products. They are rich in vitamins and antioxidants that provide many benefits to the skin. Not only do they help protect against wrinkle formation and age spots but also promote cell regeneration and collagen production which can result in a youthful complexion.

This natural extract is high in vitamins and antioxidants such as beta-carotene that nourish, tighten, and rejuvenate the skin. Carrot extract also has natural healing properties that can help to repair damaged or irritated skin tissue. When used regularly, carrot root extract can help to improve the overall tone and texture of your skin while boosting collagen production.

Carrot seed blends well with other carrier oils and essential oils which makes it a perfect addition to a variety of cosmetics such as balms and facial oils.

For mature, dry skin types, carrot oil or carrot root extract are ideal ingredients to include in any skincare routine. These natural ingredients can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, and other signs of aging while also providing essential moisture and hydration to your skin. With regular use, you can achieve a more youthful complexion that is radiant and glowing. In addition, carrot extract nourishes, tightens, and rejuvenates the skin by providing natural healing properties.

The carrot plant is hugely understated, despite being a great source of vitamin, minerals and carotenoids, which protect against UV radiation and skin cancer.

Brightening properties of the carrot plant

Carrot seed essential oil and root extract are powerful skincare ingredients that work wonders on the skin. Carrots contain vitamins and antioxidants, such as beta-carotene, which help to whiten the skin while promoting the healing of the skin tissue. The carrot seed oil has brightening properties that can help to heal scars, age spots and other skin discolorations thanks to beta carotene and Vitamin A which are both components of this oil.

How to add carrot oil and root extract to your skincare routine?
