Daucus carota
10-20€ / 10ml
Wild carrot (Daucus carota) does not produce the orange root we know -- the edible carrot is a cultivated variety. Wild carrot is a European meadow plant whose seeds are distilled to obtain the essential oil. Herbalists have known it since the Middle Ages for its hepatic and skin properties. The essential oil is rich in carotol, a molecule that has nothing to do with beta-carotene (the orange pigment in edible carrots).
Wild carrot essential oil is one of the rare oils with a documented hepatic regenerative action in aromatherapy. Carotol stimulates the regeneration of hepatocytes (liver cells). It is also an excellent skincare ingredient for dull complexions, pigmentation spots and uneven skin tones -- hence its nickname 'healthy glow' in aromatherapy.

Wild carrot is used in 3-week courses for the liver (in synergy with lemon and rosemary verbenone). In skincare, it is diluted to 1-2% in a carrier oil and applied in the evening for a 'healthy glow' effect. It is a discreet but valuable essential oil in detoxification and skin regeneration protocols.

Les huiles essentielles suivantes se combinent particuli\u00e8rement bien avec carotte sauvage pour renforcer ou compl\u00e9ter ses effets :
It is one of the best essential oils for skin regeneration. Carotol stimulates cell renewal and evens out the complexion. Ideal for mature skin, age spots, scars and rosacea. 1-2 drops in your night serum.
Yes, it is also an excellent liver and kidney drainer. Carotol and daucol stimulate the regeneration of liver cells. Useful after a course of medication or for seasonal detox. 1 drop in honey in the morning, 10-day course.
No, this is a common misconception. Wild carrot essential oil is rich in carotol (a sesquiterpenol), not beta-carotene (a pigment). Carotol has skin-regenerating properties, with no connection to vitamin A. The essential oil is distilled from the seeds, not the root.
