Botanicals With Benefits

Initially grown centuries ago for their seeds and green foliage, carrots eventually became prized for their colorful roots, which are a reliably tasty addition to a wide variety of cuisines, either raw or cooked.

Carrot Root is considered one of the most therapeutic skin oils due to it's natural carotenes. Carrot Root oil is a CO2 extract of dried carrot root creating an orange liquid that is packed with potent antioxidants. This oil has different properties from Carrot Seed, which has its own beneficial components. 

Powerful Cellular Regeneration

Significant carotenoids are γ- and B-carotenes, lycopene, and zeacarotene. Two bioactive carotenoids, such as retinol and retinal, are biogenerated through rearrangement of the -Bcarotene, which is mediated by the cytostolic enzyme -carotenoid- dioxygenase.

  • Soothes skin irritations. carrot
  • Antioxidant rich.
  • Encourages cell regeneration.
  • Topical application of Carrot Root Oil stimulates the production of sebum in dry, scaly skin. 

    • Carotenoid - The carotenoid family includes alpha and beta-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin and lycopene.

    High Carotenoids (vitamin A) content - Strong antioxidants that play a crucial role in the health of your skin. They inhibit UV damage and stimulate cell repair.
    Beta Carotene - The other type of Vitamin A, which is obtained from colorful fruits and vegetables, is in the form of “pro Vitamin A” namely carotenoids.
    Lutein - A potent antioxidant which not only shields skin from your phone and laptop's blue light, but also from atmospheric pollutants like particulate matter's (PM) heavy metals and chemicals.
    Lycopene - A powerful antioxidant (part of the more than 600 fat-soluble plant compounds known as carotenoids) that helps protect and repair skin from premature ageing caused by modern living and environmental stressors. Topical application of lycopene combats age-causing free radicals and assists in metabolic functions related to growth and repair. Important free radical scavengers that protect from overexposure to damaging UV-light. Lycopene's antioxidant and UV-blocking capabilities.

    ANTIOXIDANTS

    BETA-CAROTENE // A form of Vitamin A a potent antioxidant helps to prevent the early signs of ageing along with environmental damage.

    CAROTENOIDS // Potent compounds with protective power against free radicals which ultimately contribute to fine Innes and wrinkles.

    VITAMINS

    VITAMIN A // Reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne while smoothing, brightening, boosting skin healing and skin protection.

    VITAMIN E // Powerful antioxidant helps to keep skin healthy defending agains the early signs of ageing photoprotective potential against UV light radiation in human skin cells

    Better together Vitamin A + E  synergistically provide powerful collagen-promoting compounds helping to prevent collagen breakdown preventing loss of skin firmness.

    CELL RENEWAL BOOST
