Ideal for skin care, organic wild carrot essential oil is reputed to preserve the youthfulness of the epidermis, prevent the appearance of wrinkles and lighten the complexion. It can be used in home anti-ageing treatments but also in the care of skins with imperfections, with a tendency to redness or pigmentation spots for its revitalising and repairing action.
The wild version is less well known than its cultivated variant, but has the double advantage of being organic... and wild precisely. It is the sesquiterpene specific to carrots, daucene, that takes the lion's share of the credit here. Carotol, on the other hand, is much more discreet than in the biochemistry of the cultivated carrot. This "loss" is partially compensated by a better representation of the other sesquiterpenol, daucol.
