Carrot seed oil is an oil obtained from the seeds of the carrot plant. It has been used throughout history in both health and beauty applications. Carrots have been valued as a source of nutrition and healing in various cultures since ancient times.

Production: Carrot seed oil is obtained by cold pressing. The cold pressing method preserves the natural nutrients and effective components of the oil, providing a high-quality product. In some production methods, the seeds are crushed and the resulting oil is filtered and presented in a pure and effective form. The ripe seeds of the carrot plant are used in the production of the oil. These seeds provide the oil’s characteristic rich and slightly sweet scent.
Color, Aroma and Smell: Carrot seed oil is usually light orange or dark yellow in color and has a slightly sweet and earthy scent. This scent creates both a relaxing and natural effect. Carrot seed oil is usually among the middle notes and its scent note has a slightly sweet, earthy and fruity profile. Its aroma strength is moderate, which allows it to be used in a balanced way in various formulations.
Storage: It is recommended that carrier oils obtained by cold pressing be stored in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness and achieve maximum shelf life. If stored in the refrigerator, bring to room temperature before use.
