Don't Just See Better, Look Better With Carrots

Carrot seed oil is the essential oil extracted from the seed of wild carrots. The oil is steam distilled from the dried seeds and is yellow or amber-colored with a woody, earthy, sweet smell. The essential oil is thought to be regenerative, cleansing and rejuvenating, as well as act as a powerful detoxifier and liver booster.

In skin care products, carrot seed oil is used to rejuvenate mature sun-damaged skin because it is thought to help to stimulate skin cell renewal. As skin gets older, skin cell turnover slows down considerably, making skin look dull and accentuating fine lines and wrinkles. By helping to regulate this turnover cycle, carrot seed oil helps skin not only to look brighter and smoother, like younger skin, it may help restore function so it behaves like younger skin. And that means the benefits last longer.
