Carrot Seed Essential Oil
INCI Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil
Overview
An earthy, woody essential oil distilled from wild carrot seeds.
What it is
Carrot Seed Essential Oil is distilled from the seeds of the wild carrot plant, not the root vegetable. It has an earthy, woody, slightly sweet aroma, distinct from the vegetable itself.
Where it comes from and how it’s made
Wild carrot grows widely across Europe and parts of Asia. The seeds are steam-distilled to draw out their essential oil.
What it does in a formulation
Contributes an earthy, woody note to a finished product’s scent profile.
Why Lovebee uses it
Carrot seed brings an earthy depth that grounds a blend nicely — we like working it into scents that want a little warmth and complexity beneath brighter notes.
