Carrot seed oil is an essential oil that is made from carrot. It has a warm, earthy aroma and is said to provide a variety of health benefits, including stress and anxiety reduction. The carrot seed oil has antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties that may improve skin health and appearance when mixed with a carrier oil or cream emulsion.
As with all oil products, be mindful of the quality of what you buy and only buy from reputable, well-sourced companies. Also, to avoid the problem of purchasing counterfeit products, it is recommended that you make your carrot oil at home using this simple method.
