Somewhere along the way, the beauty industry began packing products with harsh and cheap chemicals that provide short-term solutions and sometimes irritating side-effects. Youthful, healthy-looking skin should not come at the cost of our overall health. Carrot seed essential oil blended with carrier oils can act as a non-chemical defense against the appearance of wrinkles and environmentally stressed, dry skin.
Queen Anne’s Lace is the source of this marvelous and fruity-fragrant essential oil. This plant is also the ancestor of our common garden carrot. The fragrance similarities are unmistakable in the fresh plants. Our carrot seed oil is extracted through a gentle, steam-distillation process. Its woody and spicy-sweet aroma has a wonderfully layered, subtle-yet-spicy earthiness. Pure carrot seed essential oil imparts a marvelous and nourishing benefit to skincare masques, lotions and salves.
