Carrot Seed Essential Oil: Uses, Benefits, and Blends

Carrot seed essential oil is full of antioxidants, making it a popular ingredient in many beauty products. Research indicates it offers rejuvenating effects, including the ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines. Continue reading to find out how the addition of carrot seed oil to everyday products can get you glowing with good health.

Ancient Greek literature suggests carrot seed oil was often an ingredient in herbal beauty products. It was believed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fade dark spots related to aging, and enhance skin glow. In addition during a time of no toothpaste, mouthwash, or shampoo, carrot oil was often used as an alternative. Over the past two decades, the use of carrot oil has been rapidly increasing as research further showcases the potential benefits this oil and its properties have to offer.

Difference Between Carrot Oil and Carrot Seed Essential Oil

Carrot oil is a type of cooking oil containing juices from the crushed roots of common carrots. These juices are then mixed with a carrier oil, such as coconut or olive. It is important to understand that carrot seed essential oil comes from the steam-distilled extraction of the Daucus Carota seed. It is very potent, and you should never ingest it or apply it directly to your skin. You may be picturing the seeds of common grocery carrots, but the oil-producing seeds actually belong to a wild species. First cultivated in Ancient Greece, these carrots are now grown in many other areas around the world. When extracted this oil has a sweet, earthy aroma and is a beautiful golden-yellow. For the purposes of this article, when we use the term “carrot oil”, we are referring to the essential oil.

Carrot Seed Essential Oil Benefits: Component Breakdown

    • Carotol: Carotol is a primary component in the makeup of carrot oil. It is a sesquiterpene and studies indicate it has the potential to be a natural antifungal agent, particularly against rice fungi. In addition, carotol proves itself to be strongly effective as a natural mosquito repellent. 
    • a-Pinene: a-Pinene is a monoterpene and is commonly found in the essential essences of plants. It is what gives pine needles their resinous aroma, hence the name. Studies indicate a-pinene to be an effective antimicrobial agent as well as a significant anti-inflammatory. It contributes a lot to the carrot seed essential oil benefits. 
    • Dauca-4,8-diene: This component, also known as daucene, is part of a class of naturally occurring compounds known as sesquiterpenoids.
    • B-caryophyllene: Caryophyllene is actually a cannabinoid, though it has no psychoactive properties. It has an aroma reminiscent of that of black pepper, and studies indicate its anti-inflammatory effects may be effective in battling chronic diseases, such as diabetes. It is another component on which the carrot seed essential oil benefits are dependent on.

Carrot Seed Essential Oil Uses: For Wholesale Purposes

Skincare

Skincare comes first to the mind when it comes to the carrot seed essential oil uses. As mentioned, carrot seed oil is high in antioxidants. Antioxidants are crucial to health and well-being, as they help to eradicate free radicals. When free radicals build up, your body will suffer from oxidative stress. This can lead to serious illnesses such as cancer. Certain studies indicate that the topical application of antioxidants can help offer protection against free radicals, therefore helping to prevent visible signs of aging and sun damage. 

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is another one from the list of carrot seed essential oil uses. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, carrot oil may be able to help reduce inflammation. It is possible to achieve the benefits of aromatherapy through massage, meaning the addition of a few drops of carrot oil may offer relief to those suffering from sore muscles and joints. Be careful not to ingest or come in direct contact with undiluted carrot seed oil, as it is very strong. The oil can also cause the skin to become sensitive to sunlight. This means you should be careful to rinse it off before going outside.

Another method of aromatherapy is through the stimulation of the olfactory system. Diffusing essential oils can offer many positive benefits, and carrot seed is no exception. Despite how popular aromatherapy is, more research is necessary to gauge just how far its benefits may go. Despite the lack of science-based evidence, anecdotal claims indicate that diffusing essential oils helps to reduce feelings of anxiety and stress. Carrot seed oil offers a woodsy, earthy scent, which often appeals to users who wish to avoid stronger, more intense scents like Lavender or Citrus. Alternatively, you may also choose to add a few drops of this oil to a hot bath. 

Soap Making

Due to its potential ability to induce cell regeneration, carrot oil is a great addition to any natural, organic soap. In addition to being both a natural antifungal and antibacterial, it also offers up its sweet, musky aroma.

What Blends Well with Carrot Seed Essential Oil?

When mixed with other essential oils, carrot oil can provide an earthy tone to any aromatic blend. Recommended oils include spice and citrus, as well as Lavender, Cedarwood, Geranium, Juniper Berry and Bergamot.

Precautions

People often get carrot oil and carrot seed essential oil mixed up. This means many websites and online forums inadvertently suggest adding essential oils to food and drinks. However, at VINEVIDA we are strongly against this practice. The carrot oil meant for cooking is entirely different from the potent essential oil that is meant for external use only.

If applying carrot seed essential oil topically, always make sure to dilute it first and rinse off before going into the sun. Keep away from pets and small children, making sure they are unable to ingest or come into direct contact with it.

Conclusion

Carrot seed oil shows immense promise as a beauty agent. Its high level of antioxidants combined with its antibacterial properties makes it a great additive to many products, including face serums, toners, and moisturizers.

Have no fear!, or The writer's Victorinox.
Format: Kindle
You can't praise this book enough. There are a ton of how-to books out there, but this one really made a difference for me. Think of writing as a journey through the woods: You set up, you get in the muddle, and you come out (hopefully) on the other side. When doing this, we try to use as many tools and resources as we can to make it to the other side, but most of the time you fail (or tools fail on you) and you end up starving or being eaten by some wild animal in the muddle of the story. What James Scott Bell wants you to have in clear is that the most useful tool you can have out there is YOU. And all of his tips, advice and excercises are aimed to one thing and one thing only: how to unleash and harness the power of your story (and survive). It provides clear, straight-forward tools and tips, adressing many aspects of the writing process you won't find in many of them. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the study of plots and storytelling. Relevant examples that take in consideration a wide array of writer profiles, and Bell does not abuse with film examples (and most of the movies it references are also books i.e.: the maltesse falcon, the godfather, etc.). It contains useful excercises at the end of each chapter to help you put the tehcniques in practice and bring the best out of your learning experience. It really helped me overcome several issues I had with my novel-writing and opened my mind to a new scope on plot and str.. This is a wonderful book, written in the same gripping style that the author suggests to use, and with great success. I think this is a wonderful book because it does not give infalible advice. To me that is very important. Let me ilustrate how I felt by giving you the following example: (after developing content) -Regular book: so just do This (and fail, miserably). -Bell's book: Many writers had this problem before and by doing This you might also find a solution for it. In case That doesn't work, you could maybe try This, or come back at it again later on with a fresh view and give it another try.

Excellent resource
Format: Paperback
Two novel ideas ago, I had to put that one aside because I stuffed it to the point where the story made no sense. I intend to go back to it at some point, but for now, it's collecting dust. Also collecting dust is my more recent idea. I started with an outline (of sorts), wrote and rewrote it a few times...only to get stuck on Chapter 8 or so. I didn't know where to take the story. This one will probably never get resurrected...but you never know. Which leads me to one of the best things in this book: outlining with index cards. There's at least one other book touting this, but I'm sure there are others that do. What sets this one apart, in my mind, is his suggestions on how to set it up. This doesn't comprise a huge part of the book, but it made enough sense to me that I decided to give it a whirl. Almost 50,000 words later, I'm still chugging along, taking into mind his ideas (I'd never heard it put quite this way) about doorways of no return (more on that in a moment). Sure, I've made some changes, throwing out cards, rearranging cards, adding cards. That's the beauty of this system: it's not set in granite. If your muse takes you in a way that's different from what you originally wrote, go for it! Mr. Bell explains the doorways simply, at first, as transitions - from beginning to middle and then middle to ending. The first doorway gets your Main Character from beginning to middle; the idea is to create a scene where the MC is thrust into conflict in a way that keeps him/her there. With the second doorway (middle to ending), something has to happen to set up the final confrontation. It's usually a huge clue, a big piece of information, or a major crisis that sends the MC hurtling towards the conclusion. Mr. Bell explains these in greater detail, and I found his explanations quite understandable. But there's more to this book than that. Mr. Bell gets into how to come up with plot ideas, character arcs, revising, plot problems and cures, scenes, and tips and tools. I wasn't bothered by his reusing some of the same good writing examples, but it may make you cringe or roll your eyes. Other than that minor quibble, I think everything else about this book makes it shine as a writer's resource.

Most Helpful Book I've Read on Plot and Structure
Format: Paperback
This is a well-organized, easy-to-read guide to techniques used to develop plots and sound story structure. It includes 14 chapters and two appendices. They cover such topics as what a plot is, how structure holds plot together, how to get ideas, and how to handle/interweave plot into all the levels of a novel (from whole sections such as the Beginning or middle of the work, down to the micro level of individual scenes). He includes discussion of different "plotting systems" (from writing by "the seat of your pants" to types/methods of creating outlines of various levels of "thoroughness" for those interested in mild outlining to someone with full-blown OCD). It discusses complex plots and sub plots, character arcs in relation to plot, common problems and solutions, revision, and more. Every chapter ends with a few exercises to reinforce the topic covered. The two appendices are a checklist for reminding you of major plot components as you write, and how to create "back cover" (aka the blurbs on the back of your book, or the summaries on the inside flap of dust jackets). As a writer, I am a "seat of the pants" guy, who's reluctantly recognized it isn't working for me (a major motivation for getting this book). Bell's discussion of different styles of outlining, though brief, gave me ideas of how to proceed. While I've often read books that include exercises, I confess to rarely doing them -- Bell is an exception (no, I didn't do *all* of them, but.... :) ). His text uses plenty of examples, drawn from movies and well-known novels. I've read other works on plot and structure (both general books and at least two dedicated to these topics), and have found this one to be by far the most readable, instructive, easy-to-digest, and *helpful.*

I have a few instructional writing books I reread; this is one of them.
Format: Paperback
Plot & Structure: Techniques and Exercises for Crafting a Plot That Grips Readers from Start to Finish by James Scott Bell may be the best book for plotting and creating structure in fiction stories that I’ve read. I have a few instructional writing books I reread; this is one of them. Plot & Structure works for writers who don’t use outlines and for those who do. Throughout Bell acknowledges and addresses how his ideas about plot and structure can be used by all writers. This isn’t a “my way or the highway” kind of book. Bell gives practical advice for all writers. What’s so great about Plot & Structure? The biggest plus is Bell’s practical and down to earth strategies and clear explanations. Here are the other greats: Bell’s approach isn’t a how-to formula; it’s more of a guide. His genre is thrillers, but he addresses the needs of other genres as well as those of literary fiction. He provides many strategies writers can use to approach plot and structure; plus, he encourages readers to find their own way of working. The exercises at the end of the chapters are practical. If you try some of them, you’ll discover that they aren’t busywork but helpful approaches to solving writing issues. Unless you’re a pro with so many publications behind you that you don’t need help, this isn’t a book to read once and put away. It’s a book you’ll come back to and get more out of with a second or third reading. If you want a formula or step-by-step program, this isn’t a book for you. He gives choices so you can find you own style and way of working. Which is one of the things like I about the book. It’s like going to a writer buffet and choose the strategies that work for you. If you are someone who writes without an outline, you are going to be surprised because Bell doesn’t leave you out of any of the equations. He has strategies for all writers.

Great advice, guidelines, and suggestions: Bell writes with a contagiously inspiring attitude
Format: Paperback
I admire good organization when it comes to most things, especially in a book that purports to teach about structure. The organization of the book makes it easy to go back and reread a part; for example, if you are working on a beginning, middle, or end section in your fictional story, there are corresponding chapters for what you need. Each chapter has ending exercises that I imagine to be helpful, but I haven't actually worked them through although I've read them. You will read about elements that you need to know to how to do to write an appealing story, like characterization, settings, dialogue, and scene selection. It is recommended that you get a book with these elements as the main focus for a more detailed, expansive treatment (if you haven't done so already). Bell is most helpful on how to construct a scene. However, he does not have much to say about description, other than that it has a tendency to slow the plot and you should give details as needed but not more than that (on the line of a need-to-know-type of basis). Bell also has sections on how to brainstorm plot ideas and test whether the ideas are worthy of attention. This was something I needed to do with my last story idea that burned and crashed. Furthermore he tells of "plotting systems" used by many writers, which are the-strict-only-by-the-outline group (OPs) or the free-rein-no-outline group (NOPs) and writers using a little of both. The suggestions and tips are conveyed in a way that you can take and adapt them to your style. The chapter on common plot problems was very helpful. He even tells of how he squeezes in his writing time. Bell's way doesn't work for me, but you can take it and suit it to your own circumstances. What I like about Bell is that he writes in a non-demeaning way to new writers. There are some writing books which take punches at new writers, be it ever so subtly or blatantly (I would rather not name any names), even though these books may contain invaluable writing advice and tools. It is just refreshing to have Bell's attitude. He motivates me to write and be true to myself, especially in his introduction. So far it is one of the books I keep going back and rereading parts that are pertinent to what I am writing.
