## About
Deep orange, the color of a carrot pulled from cold autumn soil and cut in half. This is Helio carrot root: the essence of dried carrot roots, organically grown and CO2 extracted in Germany into pure jojoba oil. It is extremely rich in beta-carotene and in vitamins A and E.It is far more concentrated than the infused carrot oils on the commercial market. A typical safflower-based infusion is meant to be the whole base of a formula; this extract carries the CO2 extraction of ten pounds of dried carrot root in every pound of jojoba, so a few drops stand in for ounces of infused oil. It is a classic addition to formulas for mature or weathered skin, and for hair and nails.DetailsBotanical name: Daucus carota radix, the rootOrigin: Germany, organically grownMethod: CO2 extraction of dried root into jojoba oilRatio: ten pounds of dried root to one pound of jojobaHow to useUse it at 1 or 1.5 percent in most skin care formulas.
