Everything in the carrot is useful! The root, the tops, the seeds: everything is used in food or cosmetics.
At Siprès, we use carrot in the form of a macerate and an essential oil. For the macerate, the roots are infused in sunflower oil to obtain a carrot oil macerate.
Tout est bon dans la carotte ! La racine, les fanes, les graines : tout est utilisé en alimentation ou en cosmétique.
En cosmétique, les racines sont macérées dans de l'huile de tournesol afin d'obtenir du macérât huileux de carotte. Les graines sont distillées afin de récolter de l'hydrolat et de l'huile essentielle.
Chez Siprès, nous utilisons la carotte sous forme de macérât et d'huile essentielle.

History
Carrot was domesticated in the 10th century in Iran, but at that time it was purple or yellow. The orange cultivated carrot comes from a later domestication in the 17th century in the Netherlands and is rich in beta-carotene.
Origin
Siprès wild carrot macerate is produced near Mont Ventoux, on a family farm that has specialized in the production and distillation of local aromatic and medicinal plants for five generations.
Extraction
The carrot macerate is made by our producer, who after harvesting the carrots carries out a solar maceration in French organic high-oleic sunflower oil.
