## About
Some things are loved for their looks and some for their work. Carrot seed oil is the second kind. Its scent is not especially pleasant on its own, which is why we usually soften it with frankincense or neroli, but in skin care for mature skin it is the oil we reach for first.It is steam-distilled from the seeds of Daucus carota in France, and it belongs in the face oils and creams of anyone with what one friend calls experienced skin. For a skin blend, pair it with neroli and perhaps frankincense or helichrysum. It also blends with bergamot, juniper, lavender, lemon, lime, orange, petitgrain and rosemary. We also offer carrot seed hydrosol.DetailsBotanical name: Daucus carotaOrigin: FranceMethod: steam-distilled from the seedsHow to useDilute it in a carrier oil or cream for skin care, blended with a kinder-smelling oil.
