Great skin benefits, but not a great scent. Blending it with Sweet Fennel masks the scent wonderfully.

I love this oil.........My skin looks years younger ever since I started using it. I make my own blend.. And contrary to what t people say I don't think it smells bad at all.
This is a very good quality and I would buy it at twice the price for all the good it does me.

This is the best carrot seed oil ever! My skin is smooth and healthy looking. As with any new skin care regime give it a few weeks to see the full results. Be sure to dilute this oil.

I bought this oil based on the reviews and for it's known anti-wrinkle therapies. But the smell is so stinky to me I'm not sure I could put it anywhere near my face. Maybe it will be better diluted. I will have to do some trials.

I have regularly put 3 drops in my glacial clay mask mix. I am noticing a difference in the texture and look of my skin. I really appreciate the opportunity to buy therapeutic grade essential oils at such a great price.

This EO is a must have! Every time I use this in my facial steam, my skin feels sooooooo soft, clean and truly glows. My make-up also goes on so much smoother. The smell isn't that great but WHO CARES...it makes your skin look absolutely great!

This is the one I was waiting for! This oil works wonders on my psoriasis! Carrotseed mixed with Tea Tree is an excellent compress, salve, even make soap with it!
If you have dry, sensitive, or a skin condition give carrotseed a try!

This is a high quality product that is useful as an additive to a large variety of products. I add this to my cold processed soaps as a nutrient and again to one of my creams. Does provide colour to all products.
