The carrot is a botanical plant from the Apiaceae family (Umbelliferae), mainly grown by market gardeners for its edible part: the root. Its primary use is in cooking, where it is considered to be a real "functional food" due to its rich content of vitamins A and C and minerals. It is also renowned as a beneficial remedy for liver conditions.
But carrots have many additional benefits: "eat carrots, they make you kind and give you a healthy glow!" - a saying many heard in childhood.
While its impact on friendliness may be debatable, the carrot is an excellent source of β-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A. This colouring gives our skin a radiant and healthy complexion.
Contained in the macerated oil, this pro-vitamin A also has antioxidant properties that help neutralise free radicals produced by extended exposure to the sun.
This makes it an ideal ingredient for homemade skincare treatments, offering a sun-kissed glow and nourished skin that's prepped for sun exposure!
Organoleptic properties
Appearance: clear to slightly cloudy oily liquid (moreover, the product naturally becomes cloudy if stored in cold conditions, due to its natural fatty acid composition)
Colour: orange to bright orange
Odour: characteristic of the oil, with vegetable notes of carrot, slightly acidic
New quality: We have improved the maceration quality of this product to offer you a product even richer in carotenoids extracted from carrot. This macerate therefore has a more intense orange colour than the previous quality, and a more pronounced vegetable odour, slightly acidic.
Density
0.92
Saponification index
188–194
Storage
Macerated oil sensitive to oxidation. Store in a cool place (temperature below 20°C) away from light and air.
Precautions
This coloured macerated oil can stain clothing, so we advise you to allow it to penetrate well into the skin before wearing clothing.

1 full tablespoon = between 7.5 and 10 ml
However, these spoon ratios depend on a number of factors (e.g. viscosity of the liquid, temperature, depth and size of the spoon, rheological behaviour of the liquid), and we strongly advise you to use precise measuring equipment, such as graduated test tubes, graduated pipettes, and precision scales.
Average, I don't really see the effects
I really like this oil, which I use for both my body and my face.
Pleasant smell, perfect oil for me
Super, used alone, mixed with aloe vera gel, before or after sun exposure, or applied directly to wet skin after showering: always great! It's soothing and nourishing without being too heavy (while still being an oil).
Perfect for removing makeup and giving a healthy glow. Ideal size for carrying around
