Guest guest Posted June 13, 2001 Report Share Posted June 13, 2001 I'm going to be working with a massage therapist supplying eo blends-- -she's working with some clients doing an anti cellulite treatments, and she gave me the list of eo's she needs---my question is this---in onee blend, the recipie calls for carrot oil, and my supplier doesn't have it, they do have carrot seed extract---(I guess the carrot oil has detoxifying properties?) anyway, wouldn't the extract mixed with grapeseed oil be OK? What about just the grapessed__or is there another oil thats less expensive, and easier to track down? Thanks! Cindy:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 I have used a " carrot oil " before. Not the carrot seed essential oil. It was quite an orange oil, and you had to be quite careful when you used it, as it would tinge the skin orange if not diluted with other carriers. It was very good for the skin, and scarring.I believe it is produced by maceration rather than an essential oil.Liz Earles book Vital oils- states it is good for acne, irritated skin, and scar tissues. I know the supplier in New Zealand was Bronson and Jacobs at the time. But do not know where you could get it from anywhere else.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2001 Report Share Posted June 14, 2001 Hi Cindy, There are two oils a carrot seed essential oil and a carrot seed base/carrier oil. Both are easy to get from wholesalers in the UK and I use them both but for different applications. (I wouldn't use either for cellulite though). If you are happy to and can order from a wholesaler in the UK let me know and I will post contact details. Stay well ..... Richard MIFA, AOC ....
