Carrot Seed Oil

Description

Commonly referred to as Queen Anne?s Lace, this flowering plant is known as a ?beneficial weed? that grows in many regions of the world. It is part of the same family as caraway, cumin, dill, and fennel. While it shares some fragrant notes with its relatives, it also retains its own unique fragrance.

Carrot seed essential oil is extracted via steam distillation from the seeds of the Daucus carota plant. Its aroma is earthy, spicy, and slightly sweet.

Carrot Seed Oil is for external use only and should be diluted in a carrier oil such as sweet almond, jojoba, grapeseed or avocado oil before being used topically.
