Carrots have been cultivated for centuries, valued for their rich colour and naturally occurring plant compounds. In beauty applications, carrot root oil has been used for its conditioning properties and is often blended into facial and body care formulations. Today, it remains a popular ingredient in natural skincare, particularly in revitalising and anti-ageing preparations.
