Carrot Seed Essential Oil

Carrot Seed essential oil is a richly grounding, earthy distillation obtained from the seeds of wild carrot (Daucus carota), also known as Queen Anne’s Lace. With its warm, woody, and slightly spicy aroma, it has long been valued for its remarkable rejuvenating effects on the skin and its ability to support balance and regeneration on both physical and emotional levels.

This essential oil is a powerhouse for mature or tired skin, encouraging renewal, elasticity, and radiance. In aromatherapy, it is deeply centering—helping to quiet the mind, strengthen focus, and restore calm after stress or fatigue.

Difference Between Carrot Seed Essential Oil and Carrot Seed Carrier Oil

Carrot Seed Essential Oil is steam distilled from the dried seeds of the wild carrot plant. It is an aromatic, highly concentrated essential oil, prized for its therapeutic and aromatic properties—particularly for skin rejuvenation and emotional grounding.

Carrot Seed Carrier Oil, on the other hand, is macerated in sunflower oil. It is less aromatic and used primarily for moisturising, nourishing, and delivering vitamins A and E to the skin. The two are often used together: the carrier oil as a nourishing base, and the essential oil in low dilution for therapeutic and aromatic enhancement.
