Also known as Wild Carrot or Queen Anne’s Lace, Carrot Seed essential oil has been used as a medicinal and culinary plant since ancient times. Known to have a powerful detoxifying action on the liver and gall bladder by helping these organs to flush the body of toxins and excess fluids. This makes it helpful when dealing with gout, arthritis, edema and rheumatism (for releasing the toxins in the system that contribute to these conditions). Assists the disgestive system with problems such as anemia, colic, indigestion and liver congestion.

Carrot seed also has a reputation for it’s regenerative action on skin and is an excellent addition to facial creams and lotions

Carrot Seed essential oil can be found in the TLC Teen Skincare Kit.

Vegetable Glycerin is a clear, syrupy liquid emollient that improves the spread-ability of creams and lotions, preventing them from losing moisture through evaporation.

It is also an emulsifier. Its low toxicity and solubility in water makes it a prime component for making skin care products, room sprays or using in any product where you need to mix oil and water.

This product is a wonderful skin emollient, lubricant and humuctant that helps the skin retain its moisture and restore its natural PH balance.

1/2 cup Grapeseed

1/2 cup Sweet Almond Oil

20 drops Carrot Seed Essential Oil

20 drops Cedarwood Essential Oil

20 drops Lavender Essential Oil

Combine all above into a 250ml bottle

This blend of essential oils and carrier oil(s) helps to promote hair growth, shine and strength. Hair oil should only be applied to clean hair. Adding oil to dirty hair can increase buildup and cause hair damage.

It is important to warm the hair oil as this allows for deeper penetration and seals the hair cuticles to keep the scalp moisturized. We suggest running the bottle under warm water or setting it in a container of warm water for a few minutes. Once heated pour one teaspoon of oil into your palm and spread it onto your scalp using your fingertips. It may be tempting to add more oil but avoid doing so as it can do more damage than good!

Massage the oil onto your scalp gently for 10-15 min using circular motions. Once your scalp has been thoroughly massaged, apply the oil to the ends of your hair as well. Wrap your hair loosely in a warm towel and allow to soak for an hour or two.

When you’re ready to wash the oil out apply shampoo first before rinsing with water. This will help to extract the oil from your hair more easily. You may need to repeat the shampoo/rinse process, though it is not recommended to do so more than twice.

You may repeat this process daily or weekly depending on your skin type and how damaged your hair is.
