Description
Carrot seed oil is a type of essential oil. It’s extracted via steam distillation from the seeds of the Daucus carota plant.
This flowering plant, known for its white blossoms and carrot-scented roots, is also called wild carrot and Queen Anne’s lace.
Carrot seed oil is sometimes confused with carrot oil, which is made from a mixture of crushed carrot roots immersed in a carrier oil, such as olive or coconut oil. Carrot oil isn’t an essential oil, however.
Cold pressed carrot seed oil is cold pressed from the carrot seeds, and it’s used in cosmetics for anti-aging properties in skin care.
Carrot seed essential oil has shown antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. What it doesn’t have are the vitamins and nutrients provided by carrots.
Like other essential oils, carrot seed oil isn’t meant to be ingested. In this way, it differs from carrot oil, which is often used for cooking.
Benefits and uses
When you mix carrot seed oil with a carrier oil, you can apply it to your skin. Several laboratory studies and anecdotal evidence indicate that carrot seed oil has a number of properties that may be beneficial when used this way.
Antibacterial
A recent studyTrusted Source found that carrot seed oil is effective at combating several strains of bacteria.
These include Listeria monocytogenes, which causes listeriosis infections, and Staphylococcus aureus, responsible for staph infections. It had a smaller degree of effectiveness against E-coli and Salmonella.
Researchers attribute the effectiveness to the levels of a chemical compound called alpha-pinene in the carrot seed oil. They also acknowledged that differences in concentrations of the chemical compounds in carrot seed oil can change the oil’s antibacterial properties.
Antifungal
Research suggests that carotol, another chemical compound in carrot seed oil, reduces the activity of fungi that affect plant growth.
Another studyTrusted Source indicates carrot seed oil has some degree of effectiveness against yeasts such as Candida albicans and Aspergillus.
Antioxidant
An animal studyTrusted Source performed on rats suggests that carrot seed oil may be an effective antioxidant. This same study found that carrot seed oil might also have benefits against liver damage.
Anti-aging
A studyTrusted Source that analyzed carrot seed oil’s antioxidant properties suggests that it might be beneficial in cosmetics as a rejuvenator for aging skin.
Gastroprotective
Alpha-pinene was found to reduce the incidence of gastric ulcers in an animal studyTrusted Source performed on mice.
Anti-inflammatory
Anecdotal reports indicate that carrot seed oil has anti-inflammatory properties and is soothing to the skin and scalp.
