A yellow to orange colour, mobile oil that is made from Organic Carrot Root Extract in Organic Sunflower Oil at a ratio of 1:5.
- Use 1% to 5%. It is not dangerous to use more but you may find that the skin will temporarily take on the colour of the oil which may not be wanted.
- Oil soluble so cannot be used in water only products. It can be used in small amounts in water based gels that will hold it in suspension.
- Heat stable so can be used in Stage 1 (fat stage) when making creams and lotions.
