Carrot seed oil has a detoxifying effect on the liver and cleans the digestive system and the body as a whole.

Carrot seed strengthens the mucus membranes in the nose, throat and lungs, thus has a beneficial effect on problems such as bronchitis and influenza.

I have been very pleased with this oil. I bought it to try in an elixer blended with other EO's and a carrier. I have used it for about 2 months, and was told last week that I have the skin of a baby's. I'd say it's working! As far as the smell goes, it's earthy but pleasant to me.

I too am a hobbyist and purchased this oil to incorporate into a light facial moisturizing cream. Along with the other ingredients used, I have been very impressed with the quality of the oil as well as the results I've seen so far! As previously noted, the oil is very strong and should be diluted (as with any essential oil). Patchouli and Rosewood essential oils, used minimally, masked the scent of the Carrot Seed oil very nicely...and also have their own healthy benefits in skin care. I will be back to purchase more essential oils from NDA having been very pleased with the quality of the oil, the packaging, the fast shipping and excellent customer service!

Made a skin cream with carrot seed (and a little bit of patchouli); it's fantastic. I do not buy in large quanties, am just a hobbist and was suprised & pleased with the quality of service I recieved. The excellent packaging and quick deliver provided is worth a mention-am already planning my next order.

very strong so dilute this oil! I am still experimenting with it, but it is very invigorating to add a drop in a facial oil.

One of the best oils for wrinkles. I use it everyday as a facial moisturizer in your body butter base. Both excellent products! Thank you!

I DON'T PARTICULARLY LIKE THE SCENT OF THIS OIL FOR MY FACE, HOWEVER, IT MASKS WELL WITH A DROP OR TWO OF GRAPEFRUIT OIL. MAKE SURE TO DILUTE WELL! A LITTLE HARSH ON SENSITIVE SKIN, AND I ONLY USED IT AT 1%, BUT IT DEFINITELY CLEANSES!!

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.
