Pumpkin Seed Oil

Derived from the seeds of the pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo), Pumpkin Seed Oil is a cosmetic-grade carrier oil valued for its rich color and medium-weight texture. It is typically cold pressed and may be refined to reduce natural aroma and color variation while improving stability and shelf life, making it suitable for consistent cosmetic manufacturing.

Pumpkin Seed Oil is commonly incorporated into skincare, haircare, scalp treatments, massage products, soaps, and cosmetic formulations where conditioning and sensory richness are desired.
