Frequently asked questions
What is carrot tissue infused oil?
It is a carotene-rich infusion in sunflower oil, traditionally sold as carrot tissue oil (INCI: Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil, Dunaliella Salina Extract, Tocopherol, Ascorbyl Palmitate). The carotene comes from Dunaliella salina microalgae extract, with tocopherol and ascorbyl palmitate added to protect the oil.
What is carrot tissue oil used for?
Formulators use it for its warm orange colour and skin-conditioning carotenoids in face and body oils, creams, after-sun and tanning products, balms and lip care.
Is carrot tissue oil palm free or food grade?
It is not palm free, because the ascorbyl palmitate is derived from RSPO-sourced palm oil, and it is not for food use. It is vegan and contains no added preservatives.
What pack sizes are available?
Available in 1kg and 5kg, all priced online.
