Perhaps you recognize her. After the wild carrot blooms, this flower with an elegant collar folds its seeds into a knot. When you crush the seeds between your fingers, a gently sweet, warmly scented oil is released, often used in skincare mainly for its antimicrobial properties. Sometimes these seeds are cold-pressed to produce carrier oil, sometimes they are distilled to obtain essential oil.
