Carrot Seed Essential Oil
Carrot seed essential oil is steam distilled from the seeds of the wild carrot (Daucus carota), a plant native to Europe, western Asia, and North Africa that has been valued since ancient times. Historically, wild carrot seeds were used in traditional herbal practices by ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, while the cultivated carrot later became an important food crop throughout the world. Today, carrot seed essential oil is used in all-natural soaps, lotions, facial oils, balms, and botanical skin care products, where it is appreciated for its earthy aroma and long-standing place in herbal traditions.
