Carrot oil: it all starts with the story of the carrot

Carrots are one of the most widely consumed vegetables in France, and more widely in Europe. 1 in 5 vegetables purchased is a carrot, that's saying a lot! We grow them in our gardens, and you can always find them in the shops. But did you know that the ancestor of the carrot was born thousands of miles away ?

In fact, this herbaceous plant from the Apiaceae family originated in what is now Afghanistan. Historical records show that the carrot has certainly been cultivated for thousands of years !

The Greeks and Romans believed that carrots were good for the health of the eyes. In particular, to improve vision. And today, its benefits have been widely extended.

Truly considered to be an "alicament", this root vegetable is packed with vitamins A and C. But we quickly realised that it could also be used in cosmetics. Carrot oil is used in many cosmetic products. It's particularly appreciated for its colouring properties, which give a luminous, sun-kissed complexion! Find out more in the rest of this article..

Carrot oil from Huiles de ricin Shop

"Eating carrots makes you loveable and gives you a pink bottom" Who hasn't heard that saying as a child? Bad memories for some, we know! But don't panic, we're not talking about drinking this oil. This is cosmetic quality oil.

In our natural online shop, you will find 2 types of carrot oil:

- HEMANI Organic Carrot Oil, 30 mL

- TAMEEM Carrot Oil, 100 mL

To be more precise, carrot oil is an oily macerate of carrot. This means, like garlic oil, that our vegetable is macerated for a long time in a neutral oil. Sunflower oil, for example. This method of production extracts all the nutrients, vitamins and other active ingredients from our Daucus carota.

This oil is bright orange in colour, immediately reminiscent of our vegetable. As for its smell, it's vegetal and only slightly acidic. It's very pleasant because, although it's very oily, carrot oil penetrates the skin quite quickly. Without leaving a greasy film.

Use carrot oil daily according to your needs

As a tanning oil

Carrot oil blends beautifully with jojoba oil and olive oil. You can apply this mixture to the skin to get an even, much more intense tan. However, we recommend that you use sun protection, as these oils do not protect against UV rays.

As an after-sun treatment

If you make your own after-sun care, we recommend adding 50% carrot oil macerate. Then add the other ingredients of your choice. This oil generally works in perfect synergy with rose oil !

As an ingredient in your "healthy glow treatment

If you're not too keen on DIY and home-made products, simply add a few drops of your carrot oil to a cream. Preferably in a day cream, to take advantage of its healthy glow effect.

To make your own creams or serums, you can add 20% carrot oil. So get to work on your recipes !

Carrot oil is sensitive to oxidation. It is therefore essential to store it in a dark place, at a temperature below 20°C.

Always close the cap after use.

It's always advisable to carry out a small skin test before using a new cosmetic. Although carrot oil is 100% natural, check that you are not allergic to it.
