Every Tea Time has its own deal on that week's oil, so join us live in the Natural Living Club: https://www.skool.com/natural-living\nCarrot seed on a label can mean two different oils. Karen hosts this week and puts them side by side: the garden carrot, Daucus carota subspecies sativus, whose seed is harvested in the plant's second year, and the wild carrot, Queen Anne's lace, subspecies carota. It is one Latin name with two very different reports: carotol leads the garden carrot at 71%, while geranyl acetate, an ester, leads the wild carrot at 33%. Karen smells the two side by side, sorts carrot seed oil from carrot seed carrier oil and macerated carrot root oil, and makes a Roadside Calm diffuser blend, a one-drop Carrot Face Moisturizer and an Ember Glow Grounding Balm. She closes with a tour of Thymely Lite and Thymely Premium.\nIn this episode:\nCarrot seed on the bottle is only the beginning of the story. The garden carrot is Daucus carota subspecies sativus; the wild carrot, Queen Anne's lace, is Daucus carota subspecies carota. Many sellers print only Daucus carota, so read the GC/MS report, or smell them.\nThe garden carrot smells strongly of carrot: warm, earthy, softly sweet and lingering, and carotol is over 70% of it. The wild carrot is lighter, fruitier, gently floral and green, and geranyl acetate, an ester, leads it at 33%.\nThree different things come from the carrot: the steam-distilled essential oil from the seed, pale yellow and very aromatic; a cold-pressed carrier oil from the seed; and a macerated oil from the root, which is the orange one. For the root oil at home, dry shredded carrots, grind them to a powder and let them infuse in olive oil for a couple of days.\nCarrot seed is not a sunscreen: the 38 SPF you may read online has not been proven.
