FAQ
WHAT IS CARROT OIL?
HOW TO USE IT ON SKIN? Like other oils, you can apply a healthy amount to the designated area and gently rub into your skin in both the morning and night. Experts highly recommend combining the carrot oil with a carrier oil such as olive oil or hazelnut oil and what’s really nice about it is that it’s meant for all skin types! One thing to keep in mind is that carrot oil is only used in small percentages in beauty products due to the fact that too much can tint your skin. It’s not just a myth! If you do plan on using a higher percentage of carrot extract, experts suggest using that higher dosage only in the evening as the exposition of sunlight and heat, the Beta Carotene can begin to tint your skin as oxidation begins.
Carrot oil is simple. Made from the crushed roots of carrots immersed in an oil such as coconut or olive oil. Next up is the process of cold-pressing, which separates the natural oils and liquid from the fiber of the carrot – therefore you won’t find carrot chunks in your skincare products. With roots tracing back to France, Greece, India, and Egypt, having been used to aid with digestion and soothe inflammation. Something to keep in mind is that carrot oil is not the same thing as carrot seed oil – one comes from the plant itself while the other comes from the seeds. Both products contain vitamins but they’re incredibly di erent.
