Application:
The carrot extract and jojoba oil have a caring effect, especially on dry and scaly skin and are therefore well suited for use in skin care products. Due to the carotenoids contained in carrot extract, which have antioxidant properties, and the jojoba oil, which has a natural sun protection factor of 4, the product is also very suitable for use in sun creams and after-sun products [2,3].*
