Pumpkin Seed Oil - Pure Natural Oil for Skincare
Extracted from the seeds of pumpkins (Cucurbita pepo), this distinctive oil is valued for its rich green colour and impressive nutrient composition. Cold-pressed to preserve its natural properties, pumpkin seed oil has become a specialty ingredient in natural cosmetic formulations, prized for its unique character and traditional European heritage.
About This Oil
Pumpkin seed oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of pumpkins, which are carefully processed after the seeds are removed from the fruit. This oil typically has a characteristic dark green to reddish-brown appearance and a distinctive rich, nutty aroma that adds character to cosmetic formulations.
Pumpkin seeds have been valued for centuries, particularly in Central European culinary and traditional practices. The oil extracted from these seeds, especially from Austrian Styrian pumpkins, has gained recognition as a specialty ingredient known for its striking colour and unique composition.
What sets pumpkin seed oil apart is its distinctive dark green colour, which comes from high levels of chlorophyll and other plant pigments. This characteristic appearance, combined with its rich, nutty aroma, makes it immediately recognizable in cosmetic formulations.
Pumpkin seed oil has a medium-weight texture that absorbs reasonably well into skin. Due to its polyunsaturated fatty acid content, this oil requires careful storage to maintain its quality. The cold-pressing process preserves the oil's naturally occurring nutrients and characteristic colour.

First of all, WOW. This is my first time buying from this shop and I am so so impressed. The way the items were packaged was done so neatly with fragile stickers for each product to make sure it gets to you as safely as possible. The packaging was done with so much security and care and it really gives you an idea of what goes on behind the scenes during production. This pumpkin seed oil is great. It is heavier/thicker than the sweet almond oil which is perfect for oiling your hair before washing it. Going to be using this for my hair growth concoction 🙂
