Pumpkin Seed Oil
Pumpkin Seed Oil
A deep-green oil pressed from roasted or raw pumpkin seeds — rich in linoleic and oleic acids plus zinc, carotenoids and vitamin E, a nourishing favourite for skin and scalp. Hover any measure to see where pumpkin seed sits on the scale.
What it is
Pumpkin seed oil is pressed from the seeds of Cucurbita pepo, giving a strikingly dark-green oil. It's rich in linoleic and oleic acids and carries notable levels of zinc, carotenoids and vitamin E.
That nutrient density makes it a nourishing, conditioning choice for dry skin and especially for scalp and hair blends, where its mineral content is prized.
