Carrot seed oil extracted from daucus carota of the Apiaceae family and it is also known as wild carrot and Queen Anne’s lace. This is the essential oil extracted from the seeds and should not be confused with macerated oil made. A source of beta-carotene and provitamin A. Natural colour and skin nutrient. Often used in sun care products. It accelerates the formation of tissue  and contributes to an irreproachable skin epithelium. Preparations containing carrot oil are also suited to the care of ageing skin with its tendency to cornification (and incipient wrinkling). In the case of dry and scaly skin, carrot oil stimulates the production of sebum, but not to excess. The skin becomes soft and supple as a result. Carrot oil clears the complexion, it gradually dissolves  the hardened (cornified) cores of blackheads. The carrot oil contains a-pinene, carotol, daucol, limonene, b-bisabolene, b-elemene, cs-b-bergamotene, geraniol, geranyl acetate, caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide, asarone, alpha-terpineol, terpinen 4-ol, gamma-decanolactone, coumarin and béta-selinene among others.
