Note
from Cheryl about our Carrot Seed Essential Oil: We now have a new Carrot
Seed Oil. It smells like no other Carrot Oil I have smelled in the past. Our
producer says, "This is the best Carrot Seed Oil in the world. To begin with,
the starting material is superior to the typical carrot seed
that would come from India. Secondly, the oil is distilled in stainless steel
under reduced pressure so the final product is higher in alcohols and lower in
sequiterpenes and monoterpenes and there is also less degradation under these
milder conditions. A harsh and quick steam distillation is what typically gives
Carrot Seed Oil that "dirty" odor. Analytically the oil is also very
good from a chemical standpoint with high caratol, geraniol, geranyl acetate as
well as other nice esters which give it its fruitiness."
