Collection: Pumpkin Seed

Botanicals & Herbs

Cucurbita pepo

Pumpkin seed as a botanical ingredient, distinct from the cold-pressed oil in our Base Oils library, refers to the whole ground or powdered seed used in skincare and haircare formulas for its dense nutritional profile. Rich in zinc, magnesium, vitamins A, E, and K, and a full spectrum of amino acids, pumpkin seed is one of the most nutrient-dense botanicals available for topical use.

Zinc in particular makes pumpkin seed a standout ingredient for scalp health, it plays a key role in regulating sebum production, supporting follicle integrity, and maintaining a balanced scalp environment. In skincare its antioxidant-rich profile supports a healthy, resilient complexion.

How It Works

Zinc is an essential mineral for hair follicle health, and deficiency is one of the most common nutritional contributors to hair thinning and scalp imbalance. Applied topically through pumpkin seed, zinc supports sebum regulation and follicle strength. The amino acids in pumpkin seed provide building blocks for keratin, the structural protein that makes up the hair shaft, supporting stronger, more resilient hair over time.
