Description:Carrot seed oil is extracted from Daucus carota from the Apiaceae family . It is an annual or biennial herb with hairy leaves and umbels of white lacy flowers with purple centers.Carrot seed oil is an essential oil extract that is steam distilled from the seeds of the wild carrot plant (Duacus carota), also known as Queen Anne’s lace. This herb has hairy leaves and lacy white flowers. The oil extract is usually yellow to amber in color and has a mildly sweet, yet earthy aroma. However, many people prefer to enhance this aroma by combining the oil with other fragrances like geranium, citrus, violet, and mimosa.Our carrot seed oil is extracted by Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Fluid. It is a new method of extraction using carbon dioxide gas which is kept under high pressure at a constant temperature. It have fresher, cleaner, and crisper aromas than steam-distilled essential oils, and they smell more similar to the living plants because high heat is not used.
