Springfields Carrot Seed is a single, unblended essential oil from the seed of Daucus carota, the wild carrot. The scent is earthy and strong, closer to warm soil and dry root than to anything sweet, so it sits underneath a blend rather than on top of it. It is used topically in skin care creams and bases, where it is a favourite for nurturing and rejuvenating mature skin.Product Strengths Used topically in skin care creams and bases, and a favourite for nurturing and rejuvenating mature skin.
