Description
Carrot Seed Essential Oil (Daucus carota) occupies a special position in natural cosmetics with a solid reputation in mature skincare. Dominated by carotol, a rare sesquiterpenol with a documented affinity for skin tissues, it is a potent essential oil that works at multiple levels simultaneously.
It does not smell like a carrot. Its aroma is earthy, woody, and dry, with notes of roots, persistent and featuring a distinctive character that surprises upon first use. Perfumers use it precisely for this terrestrial depth, which is unusual in the natural palette.
air Olfactory profile: Intensely earthy, woody-dry, with notes of roots and tea. Persistent, a middle-to-base note in perfumery compositions.
Ingredients: Carrot Seed Essential Oil (Daucus Carota Seed Oil)
100% pure and natural, E.O.B.B.D. botanically and biochemically defined, full spectrum, unfractionated, undiluted
Obtained by steam distillation from the seeds of Daucus carota

air_freshener Aromatherapy & Diffusion

- "Drainage" Blend: Carrot Seed + Sweet Fennel + Lime applied diluted in Macadamia Oil. Traditionally used in aromatherapy to support depurative functions.
fragrance DIY Perfumery
- Earthy note and deep fixative: Carrot brings a character of dry iris and roots to perfumes, which is rarely encountered otherwise in the natural palette. Use it in traces, a few drops are sufficient to impart depth. It integrates with Patchouli and Organic Cedarwood Atlas in earthy accords, with Neroli and Organic Ylang-Ylang for florals with an earthy background, or with Bergamot for natural chypres. A lesser-known synergy: Carrot + Organic Cedarwood Atlas mimics the aroma of precious Orris Butter.
Questions and Answers (FAQ)
Q: Does it smell like fresh carrot?
A: Not at all. The aroma is earthy, dry, and woody, with notes of roots, there is no trace of the orange sweetness found in culinary carrots. Many customers describe the scent as surprising or even disappointing upon first opening. The good news: when diluted in cosmetic formulas or masked with citruses and florals, the aroma integrates discreetly into the background, letting its active properties work.
Q: What is the difference compared to carrot tissue oil (macerat)?
A: They are completely different products. The macerate is an orange vegetable oil obtained by infusing the root in a carrier oil, it is rich in carotenoids and used as a base. The essential oil is distilled from the seeds, is extremely concentrated, does not contain the vitamins A and E of the root, but contains carotol and active sesquiterpenes with a distinct profile. They are not interchangeable and do not substitute for one another in formulation.
Q: Is it phototoxic, can I use it in daytime products?
A: The essential oil distilled from the seeds is not considered phototoxic. It can be used in daytime products at the correct dosages without any restrictions regarding sun exposure. Note: confusion about photosensitivity stems from older literature that addressed other parts of the plant, rather than the seeds.

I adapted the recipe of the Anti blemish cream, mature or dry skin and got a product exactly to my taste. I used the basic products kojic acid and arbutin but, the oil used was argan and at the end I couldn't help but add 7 drops of carrot seed essential oil. The resulting cream was perfect!

I have included it in an anti dark circle serum. It is a fairly low viscosity oil, very concentrated and precious. The odor is quite strong but can be masked with perfumes if you wish, I for one don't find it very bothersome.

I discovered this little oil by accident, many, many years ago, when I was experimenting with new products in all sorts of recipes. Used properly, wild carrot seed oil does its job wonderfully, giving the complexion a hint of freshness and radiance, and when used long-term in creams and serums, it helps to fade or prevent wrinkles. Excellent!
