Carrot Infused Oil 

Carrot Infused Oil - Natural Oil for Skincare 

Natural carotene carefully infused into sunflower oil (Helianthus annuus), creating this distinctive orange-hued oil valued for its vibrant colour and nutrient-rich composition. This infusion process captures beta-carotene, the natural pigment responsible for the oil's characteristic golden-orange appearance, making it a popular choice for colour-enriched cosmetic formulations.

About This Oil

Carotene infused oil is created by infusing natural carotene sources into high-quality sunflower oil, allowing the oil-soluble beta-carotene to dissolve into the carrier oil. This oil typically has a distinctive golden-orange to deep orange appearance and a mild, neutral scent characteristic of sunflower oil.

Beta-carotene is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment found in orange and red vegetables and fruits, and is a precursor to vitamin A. The infusion process extracts these fat-soluble compounds into the sunflower oil base, creating an oil that not only carries nutritional interest but also adds natural colour to cosmetic formulations.

Sunflower oil serves as an excellent carrier base for this infusion due to its light texture, stability, and neutral profile, allowing the carotene's natural compounds and vibrant colour to be the focal point. The resulting oil is lightweight and absorbs well into skin, making it suitable for a wide range of cosmetic applications.

This infused oil has good stability when properly stored away from light and heat, though the vibrant orange colour is light-sensitive and may fade over time with exposure. The sunflower oil base provides a stable foundation with reasonable shelf life, while the carotene infusion adds its characteristic colour and compositional interest to cosmetic formulations.
