Prevents premature skin aging … Carrot Seed Essential Oil is high in antioxidants, which help protect the skin from UV rays, pollution, and stress.

Reversing wrinkles and repairing skin damage … Scientists think this is due to “carotol,” a primary chemical present in carrot seed oil. The oil also contains moisturizing vitamin E and protective vitamin C, which work together to help stimulate healing, rejuvenation and suppleness to skin.
