Popular Cosmetic Ingredients in Korea: Carrot Extract

The Power of Carrot Extract in Skincare: From Radiance to Repair

 What is Carrot Extract?

Carrot extract comes from the root of Daucus carota sativa, a nutrient-rich vegetable full of vitamins, antioxidants, and beta carotene. In skincare, it is commonly used as an oil, juice extract, or fermented filtrate, each offering its own unique benefits. Korean skincare brands have been increasingly using carrot extract in products designed to brighten the skin, reduce signs of aging, and support barrier repair.
