Carrot seed oil also assists in removing toxin and water build up in

the skin giving it a fresher more firmer appearance. The aroma is

earthy with a medium perfumary note. It does not have a particularly

pleasing aroma on it's own, but blends well with others like orris,

violet and mimosa.

 

Note: Not to be confused with the base carrot oil which should be

blended with other base oils at 10%. The base oil contains many of

the same properties. Base carrot oil is orange and processed from the

root, carrot seed essential oil is yellow [2].
