Carrot Oil
|
|
Carrot Oil is a CO2 extract from the wild crafted seeds of Daucus carota (Carrot), which is then combined with Sunflower oil cold pressed from the seeds. This combination offers a concentrated delivery of the nutrients of the Carrot Seed CO2 and the oxidative stability of the Sunflower Oil. This should not be confused with the root maceration called Helio Carrot, or with the steam distilled essential oil distilled, or the carrier oil pressed from the seeds. All of these by-products of Carrot Seed / Root are fantastic for the skin but, each has it's own virtue and care should be taken to make sure that you get the one suitable to your purpose and application. Unfortunately, this may not be easy as many authors refer to their recommendation as simply Carrot Oil, leaving it up to you to use the other information, that they may have given, to figure out their intended oil type.
