Making of carrot oil

Carrot oil is also good for the skin,it has a lot of useful benefit listed below

Carrots are rich in nutrients such as vitamins A, C, and E, beta-carotene, and a multitude of other antioxidants. Vitamins A and E — in addition to beta-carotene — have wonderful conditioning properties. They moisturizer the skin or scalp on the body, thereby building healthier hair and skin.

The benefits of carrot oil include — but are not limited to:

• healing damaged skin
• warding off the dreaded signs of aging
• stimulating hair growth
• creating luxuriously, soft-to-the-touch hair
• improving blood circulation
• protecting hair and skin from the damaging effects of weather, pollution, dust, sunlight, chemicals, treatments, and the like
• strengthening hair…preventing breakage
• Ingredients needed are
-2 organically or home grown carrots
-olive, coconut, sunflower, or sesame oil, to cover
• Equipment needed are
• Veggie peeler
• Hand grater or food processor
• Crock pot
• Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth
• Glass mason jar
1. Wash and peel the skin of the carrots.
2. Grate carrots with the use of a hand grater or food processor.
3. Place the grated carrots in a crock pot and pour the oil of your choice to cover. Note: I used 2 1/4 cups of oil or 18 ounces.
4. On your crock pot’s lowest setting, maintain a warm temperature — infusing the oil for a full 24-72 hours. Note: I use the “warm” temperature setting on my crock pot. Try not to allow the temperature of the oil to rise above 100-105 degrees farenheit. You will notice the oil becoming orange in color.
5. Once the infusion process is complete, pour the carrots and oil mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth and strain.
6. Reserve the oil and compost the carrots.
7. Label and store the oil in a glass mason jar in the refrigerator until ready for use. Will keep for 6-8 months if stored properly.
