CARROT OIL: PRODUCTION, COMPOSITION AND PROPERTIES

Before ending up in beauty oil, the carrot remains one of the most consumed and appreciated vegetables in France. This orange root with a sweet taste brings many benefits to our body. In addition to making us likeable, its consumption maintains the health of the skin. The carrot is very rich in vitamins, minerals and especially in provitamin A (beta-carotene), which is why the world of cosmetics has quickly become interested in this root vegetable...

The liquid is yellow-orange in color and has a light odor. In the list of ingredients of the care products, the carrot macerate is found under the INCI name of DAUCUS CAROTA SATIVA ROOT EXTRACT. The carrot macerate is one of the low comedogenic oils with an index of 1. The carrot oil is suitable for all types of skin, but it is particularly recommended for those lacking radiance, for dull, tired complexions and for dry and/or mature skin.

Carrot oil is a concentrate of active ingredients. It is very rich in provitamin A, including beta-carotene, which makes it the best natural self-tanner. Beta-carotene is also a powerful antioxidant and protects the skin from free radicals. The triglycerides and phospholipids contained in the oil have strong softening properties and strengthen the skin's protective barrier. The linoleic and oleic acids nourish the skin in depth and strengthen the hydrolipidic film. In summary, carrot oil is highly appreciated for :

- its antioxidant properties

ALL THE BENEFITS OF CARROT MACERATE

For an immediate healthy glow

Carrot macerate is the reference oil to obtain a healthy glow and bring radiance to the complexion. Full of provitamin A, this oil is the perfect natural self-tanner. To give your skin a boost, take a few drops of carrot macerate and mix it with your organic moisturizer before applying it to your skin.

For summer-ready skin

Carrot oil is a very good skin care product to prepare the skin for sun exposure. Its provitamin A content stimulates the production of melanin and activates the coloring of the skin pigments. This process strengthens the epidermis and protects it further from the sun's UV rays. Before the sun comes out, prepare your skin by applying a little carrot oil to your body and face. You can mix the oil with your day cream or body lotion.

Be careful, the carrot oil does not constitute in any case a solar protection. It is advisable to apply a suitable sun cream before any exposure and to protect your skin well.

For a long-lasting tan

The moisturizing virtues of the oil and its "healthy glow effect" also make it a very good after-sun care. Its richness in fatty acids softens the skin and prolongs the tan. In the evening, after sunbathing, moisturize your skin with a little oil. In the family of vegetable oils, apricot kernel oil is also a very good post-exposure care!

To nourish dry skin

Carrot oil comes to the rescue of dry and sensitive skin. It protects the skin from external aggressions, nourishes it in depth and activates the regeneration of the cells. The skin finds all its softness and its flexibility.

In case of acne,eczema or even chapped skin, carrot oil is a good healing agent that can be applied locally to the area. Its regenerating action helps the skin to be reconstituted. The oil calms the sensations of discomfort and attenuates the lesions.

To take care of mature skin

The composition of carrot oil makes it rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants come from beta-carotene, a provitamin frequently found in orange-colored foods. These active ingredients stimulate cell regeneration and boost the production of collagen and elastin. Free radicals are neutralized, the skin is protected and skin aging is slowed down. The carrot macerate also brings a good hydration to mature skins.

For a healthy head of hair

Carrot oil is particularly nourishing, making it ideal for dry and damaged hair. Its benefits help the hair fiber regain its vitality. Take a few drops of oil, warm the material between your hands and then apply to the hair. Leave on for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) and then wash your hair.

WHERE TO BUY CARROT OIL AND HOW TO STORE IT?
