The carrot extract can be used in food supplements as a natural source of beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A in the body and thus makes an important contribution to vitamin A supply. Vitamin A is an important component of the visual process, and it is also important for hearing, tasting and smelling. The BfR recommends a maximum amount of 2 mg beta-carotene per daily dose in food supplements [2].*

The carrot extract has a caring effect, especially on dry and scaly skin and is therefore well suited for use in skin care products. Due to the carotenoids it contains, which have antioxidant properties, the extract can also be used in sun protection creams and after-sun products [3,4].*
