Herbology Pumpkin Seed Oil

Herbology Pumpkin Seed Oil is 100% pure, cold-pressed, hexane-free Cucurbita pepo seed oil — a nutrient-dense, deeply nourishing botanical oil that stands out in the carrier oil world for its exceptionally rich micronutrient profile. Unlike most carrier oils that deliver primarily fatty acids, Pumpkin Seed Oil brings a remarkable combination of zinc, Vitamin E, Vitamin K, phytosterols, and a balanced blend of oleic and linoleic fatty acids — making it one of the most comprehensively nourishing plant oils available for both skin and hair care.

Zinc is the standout micronutrient here — a mineral that plays a critical role in skin cell renewal, sebum regulation, and wound healing, and one that is frequently deficient in people with acne-prone skin and hair loss. Pumpkin Seed Oil’s natural zinc content, combined with its phytosterol compounds (particularly delta-7-sterine), has been studied for its ability to inhibit 5-alpha reductase — the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT, the primary hormonal driver of androgenetic hair loss. This makes Pumpkin Seed Oil one of the few plant oils with a scientifically plausible mechanism for supporting hair growth beyond simple scalp nourishment. On skin, its Vitamin E and phytosterol content supports elasticity, reduces oxidative damage, and helps maintain a healthy, radiant complexion. A genuinely multi-dimensional oil for serious skin and hair care.

How to Use

• Face serum: Apply 2–3 drops to clean skin morning or night. Massage gently in upward motions until absorbed. Follow with moisturizer. Particularly beneficial for acne-prone and mature skin types.
• Scalp & hair growth treatment: Apply to scalp and massage gently for 5–10 minutes. Leave for 30–60 minutes or overnight before washing out. Use 2–3 times per week consistently for best results.
• Body care: Apply to dry skin areas for deep nourishment and improved texture.
• Blend: Mix with jojoba or rosehip oil for a balanced, multi-benefit facial oil blend. Its slightly heavier texture blends well with lighter oils.
• Tip: Pumpkin Seed Oil has a naturally rich, slightly nutty aroma and a deeper golden-green colour — both indicators of its high nutrient density. Store in a cool, dark place and use within 6–8 months of opening.
