Carrot Seed CO₂ Extract (Daucus Carota Sativa Seed Oil)

This CO₂ extract is characterized by a volatile fraction dominated by Carotol (75–90%), with minor components including Daucene (1–5%), Daucol (1–4%), and β-Farnesene (1–4%), contributing to its aromatic and bioactive properties.

The lipid fraction is rich in Petroselinic Acid (55–70%), alongside Linoleic Acid (8–18%), Palmitic Acid (8–15%), and Stearic Acid (1–4%), supporting epidermal barrier function, lipid homeostasis, and skin elasticity.

This composition provides antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and skin-revitalizing effects, making carrot seed CO₂ extract ideal for serums, emulsions, and body care formulations targeting tone correction, anti-aging, and protective antioxidant functions.

Age defies, with a radiant glow,
Hair reborn, where strength can flow.
Supercritical secret, finally told,
Carrot seed oil, liquid gold.
