Carrot Seed Oil is one of my favorite ingredients to use in my skin care products.
Properties
Carrot Seed Oil
Carrot Seed Oil has an earthy and sweet smell to it. Its colour is yellow or amber. I keep mine in the fridge to help extend its shelf life.
Benefits
Carrot Seed Oil is known to be a great additive to skin care products. It can relieve stress and exhaustion, detoxify the liver, and also rejuvenate the skin. This essential oil is also known to help fight many skin problems, such as psoriasis and eczema.
Carrot Seed Oil contains both Vitamin A and carotene. In addition to being good for your hair and skin, it is also associated with good eyesight.
Uses
A drop or two of carrot seed oil in creams and lotions is worth it. I have used this oil in my own skin moisturizers and it works great. I have also tried this oil in my Night Oil. Though I have not yet tried it, Carrot Seed Oil would work nicely in a blended bath oil.
I always use this oil sparingly. A little goes a long way.
Note: This is not an oil to use during pregnancy.

Oils are staple in my skin care routine 🙂 almond, argan….and I´ve got room for carrot too

Excellent! Just be careful not to use it on its own before bed…it can stain your pillowcase! I use mine in lotions or in combination with other oils.
March 19, 2013 at 1:24 pm
I´ll keep that in mind. A towel over the pillowcase could be clever then 🙂
March 19, 2013 at 1:53 pm
That’s a perfect solution!
