Stories from Nature
The carrot plant belongs to the Apiaceae family and is one of the most common vegetables. Native to the Middle East and later spreading throughout the Mediterranean, its seeds were already being used for medicinal purposes as a medicinal plant in Greek and Roman times.
In ancient times, carrots were purple and white, and it was only in the 17th century—to honor the House of Orange—that some Dutch farmers began cultivating orange carrots, a color that was also highly prized for culinary use. Carrots are rich in vitamins A, B, and C, which are essential for the well-being of the entire body, especially for maintaining healthy vision and skin.
Skin Benefits
Carrot Extract, derived from the plant’s roots, is an oily extract used in cosmetics because it is rich in carotenoids, which help maintain the integrity of the skin’s cell membrane and provide protection for dry and chapped skin.
It is also widely used to treat redness and irritation caused by prolonged sun exposure. It protects, moisturizes, and improves the skin’s elasticity against the effects of UV rays. Thanks to its antioxidant properties, it promotes tanning while preventing the formation of wrinkles.
Benefits for Hair
Carrot Extract is a revitalizing vitamin concentrate for the hair. Thanks to its high content of carotenoids and antioxidants, it acts as a protective shield against UV rays and smog, preserving color vibrancy and preventing hair fiber aging. Its nourishing and elasticity-boosting action repairs dry and stressed hair strands, imparting softness and body.
