Product description
Pumpkin seed carrier oil is highly beneficial for healthy and young-looking skin. The high levels of vitamin C in the oil helps repair sagginess and firms up the skin. Zinc helps balance the production of oil in the skin. Vitamin E protects skin from the effects of stress and ageing. Also, the fatty acids penetrate into deeper levels of the skin to hydrate and moisturize, keeping the skin fresh and moist.
As with all other New Directions Aromatics products, Pumpkin Seed Carrier Oil is for external use only. Topical use of this product may cause skin irritation or allergic reaction in some individuals. To minimize the risk of experiencing an adverse reaction, we recommend performing a skin patch test prior to use. The test can be performed by applying a dime-sized amount of Pumpkin Seed Carrier Oil to a small area of skin that is not known to be sensitive. In the event of an adverse reaction, immediately discontinue use of the product and see a medical healthcare professional for appropriate remedial action.
Efficacy
Pumpkin seed carrier oil moisturizes and rejuvenates skin through essential oil formulations, helps protect from sun damage, and promotes shiny and healthy hair.
How is OLIVE oil extracted
Pumpkin seed oil is made by pressing roasted, hulled pumpkin seeds and the modern way of processing vegetable oil is by chemical extraction, using solvent extracts, which produces higher yields and is quicker and less expensive. The most common solvent is petroleum-derived hexane.
