Pumpkin Seed Oil
Pumpkin Seed Oil
Pumpkin Seed Oil
Pumpkin Seed Oil is a cold-pressed carrier oil pressed from the seeds of Cucurbita pepo, yielding a rich, deep green oil valued in cosmetic formulations for its skin-nourishing properties.
Naturally abundant in essential fatty acids — primarily linoleic acid (omega-6) and oleic acid (omega-9) — this oil may help support skin softness, nourishment and the skin's natural moisture barrier. It also contains naturally occurring vitamin E and beneficial carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin, valued in cosmetic formulations for their antioxidant profile, which may help protect the skin from environmental stressors and support a healthier-looking complexion.
Light in texture and easily absorbed, Pumpkin Seed Oil is well suited to facial serums, body oils, balms, scalp treatments and restorative skincare blends, and is considered gentle enough for most skin types, especially dry, mature or stressed skin.
Apply a few drops directly to skin, hair or scalp, massaging gently until absorbed. For formulations, blend at 5–20% into serums, creams or hair products. Test small batches to perfect your recipe.
