About
Carrot root powder — a carotenoid-rich botanical supplying antioxidants and mild conditioning with a long food-safety history.
Daucus carota sativa root powder (CAS 84929-61-3) is the dried and milled common carrot root. It delivers the same carotenoid, sugar, and phenolic profile as whole-root material in a shelf-stable dry form. EU CosIng lists it for skin-conditioning and antioxidant functions; no Annex II/III restrictions. No CIR adverse findings. Very low systemic toxicity given extensive food use. Main formulation considerations are the deep orange pigment and powder handling.
