Product Overview
Moisturizing and emollient, Pumpkin Seed Oil is a supremely nourishing carrier oil for cosmetics, skin, and hair care. With high levels of both Omega 6 Linoleic acid (40-60%) and Omega 9 Oleic acid (20-40%), it is beneficial for dry, mature, and oily skin and scalp. Our organic Pumpkin Seed Oil is produced in the USA and is cold pressed and unrefined to retain the integrity of its impressive nutrient profile. Lightweight and gentle in nature, Pumpkin Seed Oil is suitable for all ages and skin types and can be applied directly to the skin to soften and smooth, leaving skin with a beautiful glow.
Pumpkin Seed Oil is rich in antioxidants such as tocopherols (vitamin E) and carotenoids (precursors of vitamin A) that can help brighten skin tone and improve the appearance of dark spots and elasticity, making Pumpkin Seed Oil a popular addition to hand creams, facial serums, body lotions, and after-sun care. Palmitic acid and phytosterols help maintain the skin’s protective barrier against moisture loss and impurities while offering hydrating properties and a velvety texture to creams, lotions, and body butters. Pumpkin Seed Oil also provides a creamy lather in body scrubs, soaps, and cleansers.
For hair and scalp, Pumpkin Seed Oil helps clarify hair follicles to support silky, shiny hair. Add it to hair care formulations or create your own revitalizing hair mask by applying a small amount of Pumpkin Seed Oil to damp hair from scalp to tips. Leave in for 30 minutes or more, then wash hair as usual.
Pumpkin Seed Oil lends superior skin conditioning properties without leaving a greasy feel. Formulators find Pumpkin Seed Oil ideal in cosmetics and facial products for oily, congested, and sensitive skin. Combine with Camelina Seed Oil - Organic, Sunflower Oil – Organic, and/or Strawberry Seed Oil - Organic to enhance your formulas.
