Carrot Seed Oil

Why we love it at The Mindful Gem

Carrot seed oil is a rejuvenating botanical essence cherished for its ability to revitalize dull skin, boost radiance, and protect against environmental stress. Extracted from the tiny seeds of the wild carrot plant, it’s rich in carotol, beta-carotene, and antioxidants that nourish and restore balance to tired or sun-stressed complexions. Research highlights its antioxidant, antimicrobial, and regenerative activity, making it ideal for natural rejuvenation and defense (Phytotherapy Research, 2004, DOI: 10.1002/ptr.1448).

At The Mindful Gem, carrot seed oil adds its earthy, golden vitality to blends like our Crystal Radiance SPF and Nail Elixir, where it helps protect, smooth, and subtly illuminate — a touch of sunlight for your skin.
