Our potent carrot seed oil comes from Queen Anne’s Lace fed by the nutrient-rich black silt soil created thousands, perhaps millions of years ago, by the Nile and strengthened by the energy of the relentless Sahara sun. Shea Terra’s nutrient-rich and emollient Egyptian Carrot Seed Extra Virgin Oil easily absorbs into the skin, feeding it with pro-vitamin A, beta-carotene, and vitamin E. This oil is perfect for maturing and problematic skin types, including scaly patches and sun-damaged skin, because of its high antioxidant content, which helps firm and tone skin to lessen the appearance of wrinkles. Not only does our carrot seed oil protect the moisture barrier of the skin, it’s also non-clogging and suitable for all skin types.
Please be aware that 100% pure Egyptian carrot seed oil is not the same as carrot infused oil or carrot seed essential oil. Unlike carrot seed essential oil, which is distilled from the seed, carrot seed oil is the whole, complete oil cold pressed from the seed. Shea Terra is one of the few sellers of pure, cold pressed carrot seed oil. The seeds for our oil are collected by local inhabitants and sent to the mill for pressing before being sent by air to Shea Terra. Our carrot seed oil is not pressed until we order it, it’s also not refined or deodorized so it has a unique, natural aroma.
