Description
Carrot Seed essential oil is steam distilled from the dried seeds of Daucus carota. It is a pale orange to amber oil with a dry, woody, earthy aroma, and acts as a middle note that grounds lighter oils.
It is one of the best-known essential oils in traditional skin care, long associated with mature and tired-looking skin, and is also used in hair and scalp care. In the diffuser, its grounding aroma is traditionally associated with easing stress and exhaustion, especially when brightened with citrus. Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and always dilute it well and patch test before skin use.
