Pumpkin seed oil

Pumpkin Seed Oil is a botanical fixed oil obtained from the seeds of Cucurbita pepo L., commonly known as pumpkin.
The oil is naturally composed of triglycerides containing oleic, linoleic, palmitic and stearic fatty acids.
Linoleic acid is generally one of the major fatty acids in Pumpkin Seed Oil, although the exact profile varies with seed source and processing.
Cold pressing is a commonly used method for producing Pumpkin Seed Oil for cosmetic and personal-care applications.
The oil typically has a green, reddish-brown or dark brown appearance depending on seed variety, extraction and processing conditions.
Its mild, nutty and characteristic seed aroma makes it suitable for botanical oil formulations where a natural fixed oil is required.
Pumpkin Seed Oil can be incorporated into facial oils, body oils, creams, balms and hair-care formulations.
It can also be blended with other carrier oils to develop customised lipid systems for cosmetic products.
Natural colour, aroma, fatty-acid composition and physical properties can vary according to cultivar, geographical origin and processing.
SenseMe India supplies Pumpkin Seed Oil in retail and bulk pack sizes for cosmetic, personal-care, soap and formulation requirements.
