Wild Carrot Organic Hydrosol, 250ml

Latin Name: Daucus Carota
Plant Part Used: Seeds
Origin: France

Wild Carrot, native to Europe, flourishes abundantly along roadsides and in meadows. Renowned for its liver-supporting and diuretic properties since the 16th century, this plant offers remarkable benefits through its distilled essence.

The essential oil is extracted from seeds harvested at the end of summer, just as the umbels naturally close in on themselves. Unlike other members of the umbellifer family, Daucus Carota stands out due to its unique composition rich in sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenols. This gives it a bold, earthy, and woody aroma that carries the essence of nature’s resilience.

What truly sets Wild Carrot apart is the gentleness of its action and its complete lack of toxicity, making it suitable even for children.

✔ Mature skin → Wild carrot hydrosol is renowned for its regenerative, revitalizing, and toning effects, making it excellent for aging or mature skin showing signs of fatigue, dullness, or reduced elasticity.

✔ Aging skin → It supports skin cell renewal and firmness, helping improve tone, radiance, and the appearance of fine lines or wrinkles.

✔ Normal skin → Works beautifully as a brightening, revitalizing mist to maintain healthy skin tone and glow.

✔ Dry skin → Offers mild hydrating and toning benefits, especially when skin looks dull or feels tired, though it’s best paired with a hydrating serum or cream for deep moisture.

✔ Sensitive skin → Can be used carefully on sensitive skin, as it is generally gentle, but because it’s a mild stimulant, it should be patch-tested first on very reactive skin.

✔ Blemished / Acne-prone skin → Its mild detoxifying and balancing qualities can support clearer skin, though it’s more famous for regenerating and brightening rather than purifying.

⚠ Less Focused On
✖ Oily skin → While slightly balancing, it is not highly astringent or oil-controlling like rosemary or witch hazel, so it’s less targeted for oily or very acne-prone skin.

• Detox

Daucus Carota
Plant Part Used: Seeds

Hydrosols are created in the same process as essential oils - through gentle steam distillation. When steam passes through the fresh plant material (for example, rose petals), it carries with it both the essential oil and water-soluble aromatic molecules from the plant.

Once cooled, the essential oil naturally separates and rises to the surface, while the aromatic water underneath is the hydrosol. This hydrosol is pure spring water enriched with the plant’s own active compounds - like a delicate imprint of the whole plant.The distillation process is slow and careful, allowing the hydrosol to gather all the lighter and heavier aromatic notes so that it becomes a complete, true reflection of the plant. Afterward, it’s gently filtered and bottled - nothing else is added. No preservatives, no alcohol, no synthetic fragrances.

This is why a plant hydrosol is not just ‘flavored water,’ but a living extract full of the plant’s natural vibrancy, carrying both therapeutic and sensory qualities.

Origins and Botanical Background:
Wild Carrot is native to Europe and parts of Asia but has naturalized across North America and other regions. It thrives along roadsides, meadows, and open fields, often recognized by its delicate, lacy white flowers and distinctive carrot-like aroma.

Historical Uses:

Ancient Greece & Rome: The medicinal properties of Wild Carrot were noted as far back as Ancient Greece and Rome. The seeds were valued for their diuretic properties and used as a digestive aid. Greek physicians, such as Dioscorides and Hippocrates, mentioned its use for various ailments, including treating digestive issues, menstrual problems, and as a diuretic.

Middle Ages: During medieval times, Wild Carrot was widely used for its medicinal benefits, particularly for liver health, detoxification, and skin issues. It was believed to have cleansing and revitalizing effects.

16th Century Europe: Herbalists recognized its liver-supporting and diuretic properties, and it became popular for its ability to stimulate kidney and liver function. The plant’s therapeutic uses were documented in many herbals of the period.

Modern Era: Wild Carrot is now highly valued in aromatherapy and natural skincare, particularly for its regenerative and brightening properties. The seeds, flowers, and roots are all used for different purposes, but the hydrosol and essential oil are especially popular for skincare and detoxification.

Cultural Symbolism:
The name "Queen Anne's Lace" comes from folklore that likens the flower's intricate white pattern to lace. According to legend, Queen Anne, a skilled lace-maker, pricked her finger while working, and a single drop of blood fell onto her lace, represented by the tiny purple or dark red flower often found in the center of the bloom.

Keep your hydrosol in the refrigerator.

Essenciagua prioritizes sustainability in packaging by using recyclable PET bottles, free from phthalates and bisphenols. These bottles are lightweight, shock-resistant, UV-protective, and impermeable to aromatic molecules, making them a more eco-conscious alternative to glass for transport and production.

The secure, non-unscrewable caps ensure the hydrosols remain unopened and perfectly preserved until use.

Shelf Life of an Open Hydrosol (Refrigerated)

• Typical Duration: Once opened and kept in the refrigerator, a hydrosol will generally keep well for 6 to 12 months. Some delicate hydrosols may start to lose their freshness earlier, while more stable ones (like Rose or Lavender) often last toward the longer end.
  
• Storage Conditions: Always store in the refrigerator, tightly closed, away from light and heat. Avoid touching the inside of the cap or bottle opening to prevent contamination.
  

How to Tell if It’s Spoiled

• Olfactory Test: A fresh hydrosol should have a clean, pleasant plant aroma.
  
• Signs of Spoilage:
  
  - The aroma disappears or changes to sour, vinegary, or musty.
  
  - Cloudiness, sediment, or visible growth (mold/bacteria).
  
  - A sticky texture on the surface or inside the cap.
  
  

Practical Tip

Even if the hydrosol is technically within the safe shelf-life window, trust your senses, if it smells or looks “off,” it’s best not to use it on skin or internally. It can sometimes still be used for household cleaning purposes if only mildly altered in scent, but not for therapeutic or cosmetic use.
