Carrot Extract Powder

Product Description

Carrot Extract Powder is a botanical cosmetic ingredient derived from carrot (Daucus carota sativus). Carrots are naturally rich in carotenoids, including beta-carotene, as well as other naturally occurring antioxidants.

In skincare formulations, carrot extract is valued for its antioxidant, skin-conditioning and revitalizing properties. It is a versatile botanical ingredient suitable for formulations designed to promote a healthy, radiant and well-conditioned appearance.

Carrot Extract Powder can be incorporated into facial skincare, body care, masks, cleansers and haircare formulations.

INCI

Daucus Carota Sativus (Carrot) Root Extract

Note: The INCI may vary depending on the extraction process, carrier and standardization of the specific powder. Always confirm the INCI provided on the supplier's technical documentation.

Recommended Usage Rate

0.5–5%

A starting level of 1–3% is recommended for many cosmetic formulations. The manufacturer's recommended usage rate should always take precedence, particularly for concentrated or standardized extracts.

Solubility

Water-soluble or water-dispersible, depending on the specific grade and carrier used to produce the extract powder.

For best incorporation, pre-disperse the powder in a small amount of water before adding it to the formulation. Some carrot extracts may have limited solubility or may produce a coloured dispersion depending on their carotenoid content.

Uses in Formulation

Carrot Extract Powder can be used in:

• Facial serums
• Toners and essences
• Face creams and lotions
• Body lotions and creams
• Face and body masks
• Cleansers and face washes
• Scrubs and exfoliating products

Formulation Tips

Add the required amount to the aqueous phase or pre-disperse it in a small quantity of compatible water before incorporation.

For emulsions, the extract can generally be incorporated during the cool-down phase, especially when working with heat-sensitive botanical constituents.

Carrot extract may impart a cream, yellow, orange or slightly brown colour to a formulation depending on its concentration and carotenoid content. Always perform a small compatibility and stability test before large-scale production.

When formulating with botanical extracts, ensure that the final product has an appropriate preservation system and pH.
