Rooted Wisdom: Carrot Seed Oil, Daucus Carota
Botanical Brief No. 53
Steam-distilled from the seeds of wild carrot plants native to Europe and Western Asia, distinct from carrot root oil or carrot macerates.
Rich in carotol, a sesquiterpene unique to carrot seed oil, studied for its antioxidant and skin-conditioning properties.
Contains naturally occurring beta-carotene derivatives, contributing to a subtle radiance-enhancing effect without staining the skin.
Supports a more even-looking skin tone by helping skin recover from oxidative and environmental stress.
Offers antioxidant support that helps defend against pollution-related skin damage.
Particularly well suited for mature, dry, and environmentally stressed skin, where barrier resilience is compromised.
Should be avoided by individuals with known carrot or Apiaceae family sensitivities.
As with any botanical ingredient, a patch test is recommended prior to first use, especially for those with sensitive or reactive skin.
Carrot Seed Oil cultivates warm vitality, refining tone and restoring a naturally radiant complexion.
