I am liking the sound of this in lotion. It's way expensive, how much should I use just to get some benefit in my lotion. Does it have an odd smell? I don't want to make expensive lotion, but like that this could be helpful for "mature" skin. Any advice would be appreciated.

Generally speaking you need at least 3% to obtain benefits, but this is not always the case. I would contact the vendor of the EO and ask them for their recommendations and I would also use the trial and error method. Carrot seed oil is frequently used in skin care formulas for dry, mature, or wrinkled skin. Some sources give a safety warning to avoid when pregnant, but I have seen some vendors leave this out.

Good luck!

Be aware that carrot seed oil can stain.
