Soft, earthy, and quietly radiant—Carrot-Jojoba CO₂ Total doesn’t shout. It hums. The aroma is warm and mildly sweet, like sun-baked roots and healing soil, with a lipidic smoothness that signals nourishment at the cellular level. It smells like care. Like restoration. Like something old and wise guiding the renewal of something fragile and new.

Like something old and wise guiding the renewal of something fragile and new.
Stillpoint’s Carrot-Jojoba CO₂ Total is extracted from carrot root, then stabilized and diluted into organic jojoba oil. It’s not essential oil—it’s whole-root extract in a carrier medium—meant to be used directly for skin care, deep repair, and barrier restoration.
This is a skin ally, a resilience-builder, and a vibrant antioxidant infusion for when the body needs to come back to life slowly, and with reverence.
Therapeutic Actions
Skin Regeneration + Repair
This extract is rich in beta-carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, and has long been used for promoting cell renewal and improving the appearance of dry, flaking, or damaged skin. It’s especially helpful for post-sun skin, mature skin, and areas needing long-term repair. Supports healing of minor scars, stretch marks, and weathered skin over time.
UV Recovery + Antioxidant Protection
May be used pre- and post-sun to help the skin resist oxidative stress and environmental damage. The carotenoids provide free radical scavenging benefits while supporting the skin’s resilience during sun exposure. Note: this is not a sunscreen, but may enhance your skin’s own defenses.
Barrier Function + Lipid Replenishment
Jojoba’s wax ester profile mimics skin sebum, making this blend ideal for balancing oil production, improving skin tone, and restoring skin barrier integrity. Excellent for sensitive, eczema-prone, or wind-chapped skin, especially in dry or aging conditions.
Gentle Enough for Facial Use + Daily Blends
This extract is intended to be used as-is or in custom blends for serums, creams, or oils. Its mild aroma, gentle action, and skin-loving base make it safe for use on face, neck, and décolleté, and in long-term regenerative formulas.
Traditional Use
Carrot root has a long-standing history as a remedy for damaged, dry, or depleted skin—especially when the body has been through sun, wind, illness, or time.
In both traditional European herbalism and early naturopathic practices, infused carrot oil was applied to rough skin, minor wounds, chapping, and signs of aging. It was known to support the body’s natural regenerative capacity by replenishing tissue and improving circulation to the skin.
In French herbal traditions, carrot root macerates were used to stimulate epithelial regeneration and were often combined with rosehip or calendula for deeper skin recovery. Carrot was considered a revitalizing tonic for tired or devitalized skin, especially in harsh climates or during seasonal transitions.
The high content of provitamin A compounds (carotenoids), particularly beta-carotene, made it a popular choice for maintaining skin health, enhancing glow, and supporting the skin’s resistance to sun exposure—well before the modern understanding of antioxidants existed
Botany
Carrot Root – Daucus carota
Jojoba Oil – Simmondsia chinensis
Jojoba Oil – Simmondsia chinensis
Daucus carota, commonly known as carrot root, is a biennial plant in the Apiaceae family. While most people know carrot for its edible orange taproot, herbalists and healers have long valued the wild and cultivated root for its nutrient-dense and regenerative qualities. The part used for extraction is the deep orange root, rich in beta-carotene, which gives it its color and skin-healing reputation.
Daucus carota prefers loose, well-drained soils and full sun. The root grows downward, anchoring into the soil and storing nutrients through the plant’s first year of life before flowering in its second. This accumulation of life-sustaining compounds is what gives the extract its profound nourishing capacity.
This CO₂ extract is blended into Simmondsia chinensis—a liquid wax from the seeds of the jojoba shrub, native to arid regions of the southwestern U.S. and Mexico. Jojoba is uniquely biocompatible with human skin, making it an ideal carrier for deep tissue delivery.
Energetic Botanical Signature
Carrot root grows downward and inward—its strength is in its quiet depth. The orange color speaks to vitality and life-force, stored deep in the body, waiting to be metabolized when needed. It holds the energy of stillness, absorption, and long-term nourishment.
Jojoba, from the desert, offers resilience without drama. Its wax ester structure mirrors our own sebum, protecting without smothering. Together, they create a blend that reflects integration, balance, and quiet repair. This extract does not activate or awaken—it restores what was lost, gently, over time.
It is the botanical signature of slow resilience.
