Unveil the secret to radiant skin with our Organic Macerated Carrot Oil, a golden elixir rich in nature's protective bounty. Carrots (Daucus carota) have been cultivated for millennia, not only as a nutritious food source but also for their historical applications in traditional medicine and skincare. Ancient Greeks and Romans valued carrots for various ailments, and throughout history, their vibrant color hinted at their beneficial properties for vision and complexion. The practice of infusing botanical material into carrier oils to extract their fat-soluble compounds is an age-old tradition, allowing us to harness the gentle yet potent goodness of plants. Our Organic Macerated Carrot Oil is lovingly crafted by infusing organically grown carrot root in a high-quality organic carrier oil, typically organic sunflower oil or olive oil. This meticulous "maceration" process allows the fat-soluble vitamins, minerals, and most notably, the powerful carotenoids (like beta-carotene, the precursor to Vitamin A) present in the carrot root, to gently leach into the carrier oil. The result is a vibrant, deeply nourishing oil that is celebrated for its exceptional skin-conditioning, antioxidant, and sun-supportive properties. It's an indispensable ingredient for promoting a healthy glow, soothing dry or mature skin, and helping to maintain the skin's natural vitality.

General Warnings

- For external use only. Do not ingest.
- Patch test on a small area of skin before widespread use, especially if you have sensitive skin.
- Coloring Effect: Due to its high beta-carotene content, Macerated Carrot Oil has a natural orange color and may temporarily stain light-colored clothing or skin if used in very large quantities. Use sparingly or ensure it's fully absorbed.
- Not a Sunscreen: Macerated Carrot Oil does NOT provide UV protection. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen when exposed to the sun.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve its freshness and prevent oxidation. Due to the presence of carotenoids, it is more prone to oxidation than some stable carrier oils; refrigeration may extend its shelf life.

Q&A

Q1: Is Macerated Carrot Oil the same as Carrot Seed Essential Oil?
A1: No, they are very different. Macerated Carrot Oil is an infused carrier oil made from carrot roots, rich in beta-carotene. Carrot Seed Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the seeds of the wild carrot plant and has a different chemical profile and aroma, without significant beta-carotene.

Q2: Will this oil make my skin orange?
A2: When used in appropriate amounts, it typically imparts a healthy, natural glow. If used excessively or undiluted in very large quantities, it could temporarily give a slight orange tint to very fair skin, which washes off.

Q3: Can I use this as a sunscreen?
A3: Absolutely NOT. Macerated Carrot Oil offers antioxidant protection which is beneficial for skin exposed to the sun, but it does not provide any significant UV protection. Always use a dedicated broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Q4: How should I store Macerated Carrot Oil?
A4: Store it in a cool, dark place, away from direct light and heat. Refrigeration can help extend its shelf life, particularly if you live in a warm climate.

Q5: What are the main benefits of Macerated Carrot Oil for skin?
A5: It's primarily beneficial for its antioxidant, regenerative, moisturizing, and skin-tone enhancing properties, making it excellent for anti-aging and achieving a healthy, vibrant complexion.
