Pumpkin Seed Oil – Nutrient-Rich Carrier Oil
Pumpkin Seed Oil is a rich botanical carrier oil obtained from pumpkin seeds. It has a smooth texture, a mild nutty aroma and a natural colour that can range from greenish-brown to deep amber depending on the seed variety, processing method and production batch.
The oil is valued by cosmetic and personal-care formulators for its fatty-acid profile and conditioning properties. It can be used alone in simple oil-based products or combined with other carrier oils, butters and cosmetic ingredients.
Texture and Aroma
Pumpkin Seed Oil has a medium-weight texture that provides richness without feeling excessively heavy when used at an appropriate level. Its aroma is mild, warm and slightly nutty.
Because it is a natural seed oil, colour, aroma and consistency may vary between batches. A formulation and colour-stability trial is recommended before commercial manufacturing.
