Home Made Skin Care - The Benefits of Carrot Juice

Carrots contain essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients for overall health. The juice is not only used for consumption, it's made for making homemade soap! It's found in many commercial and homemade skin care products.

Health Benefits:  Carrots contain vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene. Drinking carrot juice can help maintain good vision, increases the body's immunity, remove indigestible fibers, help in the prevention of cancer, heart disease and strokes. It contains natural sugars, so those that are diabetic would want to drink fewer amounts.

The juice may not be appealing, for some, to drink all by itself, so add or mix it with other fruit juices to enhance its flavor. By doing so, you will be adding nutrients to your drink! Consider tasty combinations such as: carrots and bananas, carrots and pineapples, carrots and oranges, carrots and mango or carrots and blackberries. Using juice made from fresh fruits or vegetables, instead of the bottled kind, maximizes the benefits of overall health. A daily glass of carrot juice, (8 oz.), can make a healthful difference! The body will not absorb drinking more than this amount.

Skin Care Benefits: Carrot juice can offer beautiful natural skin care. The benefits of vitamin A and C are healthful for skin. Vitamin A is essential for body tissue growth. It provides antioxidants benefits, attacking free radicals, which can cause pre-mature wrinkles, eczema, dermatitis and rashes. The antioxidants can act as a natural sunblock and help in healing sunburns. The benefits of vitamin C helps promote skin elasticity, with collagen production. This juice helps improve uneven skin tone, prevents scars, revitalizes skin, helps get rid of blackheads, provides acne relief, has anti-inflammatory properties, promotes smooth, soft and supple skin.

Fresh juice contains other healthful nutrients: vitamin K benefits, folate, manganese, B6, panthenic acid, potassium, iron and copper. When drinking it with water, it keeps the body and the skin well hydrated. Just be careful and do not drink too much carrot juice. It can, temporarily, turn your complexion a yellowish-orange color. It's found in many commercial and homemade skin care products: soaps, face cream, lotions and more.

Making Homemade Soap: Since carrot juice offers such wonderful skin care benefits, it's used as a soap making oil. Goats milk soap contains alpha-hydroxy acids and rich butter fat that provide moisture to skin. When making homemade soap, such as goats milk soap, you can add this juice with many other skin nourishing oils. To give your soap a beautiful orange color, substitute carrot juice for water in a 1:1 ratio. In soaps, it will dull over time, but gives a beautiful, fresh, look to finished homemade soap. Consider blending goats milk, comfrey and carrot juice for a nice bar of soap. Another natural soap combination is a blend of carrots, buttermilk, honey and avocado oil.

Consider drinking carrot juice, made from fresh carrots, as a daily intake. Also, consider using commercial or homemade beauty products made with this juice. Carrot juice offers good vitamin A and vitamin C benefits plus other nutrients for, overall, health of the body and the skin.

New Plant-Based Skin Care from the Arctic

Who knew those blue-black clusters of crowberries mingled into blueberry patches across the Chugach range could be the key ingredient in an expensive, antioxidant-packed, wrinkle-fighting serum?

That's right. Look out, Oil of Olay. Forget Vitamin C and green tea. Make room for beauty products made with the essences of crowberries, fireweed and Arctic sage. Arctic plants are trendy skin-care ingredients.

Cosmetics makers with roots in Finland, Iceland and Russia are already producing a host of items that use antioxidant-rich northern plants and berries. One Alaska company, Arxotica, is looking to do the same thing here. It will be the first large-scale, high-end commercial effort of its kind.

Arxotica — started by Bethel, Alaska-grown triplets Amy Sparck Dobmeier, Michelle Sparck and Cika Sparck — should be shipping its first bottle of signature crowberry-based serum, Quyung-lii (pronounced: kia-oong-lee), any day. Quyung-Lii means "the potent one" in Cup'ik.

Arxotica started as an idea in 2000 or so, when Michelle started researching Arctic plants. Arctic sage and crowberry have long been gathered and used by Alaska Natives, she said. Crowberries are eaten in akutaq, or Eskimo ice cream. Arctic sage, known as chiaggluk, is medicinal, used to ease pain and inflammation. Fireweed has astringent and anti-inflammatory qualities. It is also high in vitamins A and C.


"All our lives, we had to gather these things," Michelle said. "We started thinking, 'If it's good for us like this, how else could it be used?"'

It turns out that many Alaska-grown botanicals, with their short, bright growing seasons, tend to concentrate nutrients in a way that makes them prime sources for cosmetic use, Michelle Sparck told me.

The crowberry, for example, has many times the antioxidants as a commercially grown blueberry.

Their idea got a major boost through business development grants from the Alaska Federation of Natives Alaska Marketplace competitions in 2006 and 2008. With about $90,000 in seed money, they commissioned tests and worked on their formulation.

Michelle, who has overseen a lot of the product development, is living in New Jersey now, which is where the product is manufactured. Her sister, Cika, the company's in-house graphic designer, lives between Baltimore and Anchorage. Amy, an expert in marketing, recently moved to West Virginia. They all spend part of the summer in Bethel, where they were raised, and Chevak, where their mother grew up.

For research and development, the triplets, friends and family picked 800 pounds of berries and plants. Once they settled on a formula, they picked another 1,200 pounds. After that was processed to draw out its essence for the serum, the byproduct, mostly dried, pressed plant matter, still had nutrient value, Michelle said. That "second rinse extract" will make a less high-end line of moisturizers and body washes. The leftover plant matter will be incorporated into soap for exfoliation. The idea was not to waste what was gathered, she said.

"We want to create an industry that doesn't have a footprint," Michelle said.

If their product takes off, they hope to start a gatherers' cooperative in villages, paying people for picking. They will be careful not to pick in traditional subsistence gathering spots, they said. They don't want to over-pick in general. That's something that makes their products even more exclusive.

"It's a limited run every year," Cika said. "We're not going to hurt our source."

At this point the three have invested close to $250,000 into their company, Michelle said. People tell them their business plan is solid. Their product has plenty of buzz. But with online sales opening very soon, everybody has jitters.

"We keep telling ourselves this is going to pay off," Michelle said.
