Ranging from a light to medium orange color with a soft, creamy texture, carrot butter is rich in vitamins and antioxidants. It’s used in skincare formulations to nourish, revitalize, and promote a healthy-looking complexion in creams, lotions, and balms.

Color: This is one of its most distinctive features. It typically ranges from a vibrant yellow to a rich orange, reflecting the beta-carotene content derived from the carrots. The intensity of the color can vary based on the concentration of carrot extract.

Texture/Consistency: At room temperature, it’s a soft, semi-solid butter. It should feel smooth and creamy, designed to be easily scoopable and spreadable. Some formulations might be described as having a slightly waxier or firmer feel than very soft butters, but still readily melts.

Melting Point: It has a relatively low melting point, meaning it will melt effortlessly upon contact with skin or body warmth. This allows for smooth application and good absorption.

Aroma: Generally has a very mild, earthy, and slightly sweet aroma, often described as subtly vegetable-like. It’s not usually strongly fragranced with “carrot” per se, but rather has a gentle natural scent, often quite neutral, which makes it good for custom scenting.

Absorption: Absorbs well into the skin, typically leaving a nourished, soft, and supple feeling without a heavy or greasy residue. It can leave a slight initial sheen that quickly sinks in.

Appearance (when solid): Presents as a uniform, colored butter. Due to the pigments from the carrot, it might appear almost like a solidified balm.

Ingredients: Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil and Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Root Extract
