Why we love Carrot Seed Oil

Carrot seed oil is a natural oil that is derived from the seeds of the Daucus carota plant, which is native to Europe and Asia. This oil is rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids making it an excellent ingredient in face oils with numerous skin benefits, from anti-aging and moisturizing to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Carrot seed oil contains vitamin E which helps to keep the skin soft and supple. Its high content of linoleic acid is important in the skin’s barrier repair which is especially beneficial for individuals with dry, flaky, or rough skin. It helps to moisturize and improve the skin’s elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

It also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it an effective treatment for acne prone and sensitive skin conditions. It’s high amount of vitamin C can help to even out skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, leaving the skin looking radiant and glowing.

And last not least in its long list of benefits, carrot seed oil has also been shown to have protective effects against the sun's harmful UV rays. The oil contains carotenoids, which are natural pigments that help to protect the skin from UV damage.

Both of our Linaa.k face oils contain organic ecocert carrot seed oil at different percentages to address dry or oily skin conditions. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
