Carrot is one of the most commonly used vegetables for human nutrition. It is a highly nutritious plant that contains valuable amounts of vitamins and antioxidants. Carrot seed extract and its essential oil have been reported in experimental studies to have essential benefits for human health.
Carrot seed oil is widely used in medicines, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, aromatic and fragrance products. It is packed with unsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins and carotenoids. Its seed extract is useful for balancing oily and dry skin and considered one of the best rejuvenating oils of all the time.

We cultivate carrot on our own farmlands and supply our SFE plant directly from the fields. This allows our team of agronomists, farmers and scientists to have total control over the complete growing and production processes, from growing the carrot to extracting the seeds and assuring that the extracts are from the highest quality.
