Product Overview

Carrot Seed Essential Oil—distilled from the dried crushed seeds of Daucus carota—is a prized, deeply restorative botanical essential oil celebrated in prestige skincare, anti-aging cosmeceuticals, and niche perfumery. Naturally rich in the sesquiterpene alcohol carotol, it delivers a warm, dry, earthy-woody and herbaceous-rooty bouquet layered with sweet spicy-anisic nuances, subtle hay-like iris/orris facets, and soft musk-amber undertones. Unlike macerated carrot root oil (which is orange from beta-carotene), pure steam-distilled Carrot Seed Essential Oil is pale yellow to golden amber and serves as both a skin-rejuvenating active and a sophisticated earthy-woody heart-to-base modifier.
