Product Information


About Pumpkin Seed Oil (Cucurbita pepo)

Pumpkin seed oil is cold pressed from the seeds of Cucurbita pepo and is a rich, deep green carrier oil used in skincare formulating, massage blends and soap making. Range Products supplies it 100% natural, with no GMOs or artificial additives, in 100ml, 500ml and 1L sizes. It is a heavier carrier oil with a distinctly nutty aroma, so formulators usually blend it with a lighter oil rather than using it on its own. We deliver Australia wide and offer pickup from our Welshpool WA store.

Benefits

  • Cold pressed from the seed, so it stays unrefined and keeps its natural deep green colour and nutty aroma.
  • Naturally rich in fatty acids, which makes it a cushioning, emollient base for balms and massage blends.
  • Contains naturally occurring zinc, magnesium and vitamin E from the seed.
  • 100% natural with no GMOs or artificial additives.
  • Vegan approved and never tested on animals.
  • Supplied in 100ml, 500ml and 1L sizes in recyclable, earth friendly packaging.

How to Use

  • Skincare formulating: Use as part of the oil phase in balms, salves, facial oils and creams. Because it is a heavier oil with strong natural colour, most formulators use it at 5% to 20% of the oil phase alongside a lighter carrier.
  • Massage blends: Blend with a lighter carrier such as sweet almond or grapeseed oil to soften the texture and the aroma, then add essential oils to taste.
  • Soap making: Works as a specialty additive oil in cold process soap, where it contributes to a rich bar and lends its natural colour.
  • Hair and scalp: Used in conditioning treatments and hair oil blends. Apply sparingly, as it is a heavy oil.
  • Patch test first: As with any new oil, patch test on a small area of skin before wider use.

FAQs

Is pumpkin seed oil the same as pumpkin oil?

Yes. Pumpkin seed oil and pumpkin oil are the same product, cold pressed from the seeds of Cucurbita pepo. In cosmetic ingredient lists it is written as Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Oil. It is not the same as pumpkin essential oil, which is a different type of product.

What does pumpkin seed oil smell and look like?

It is a deep green to dark amber oil with a rich, nutty aroma. The strong natural colour carries through into finished products, so keep that in mind when formulating pale creams or balms.

Is this pumpkin seed oil cold pressed?

Yes. It is mechanically cold pressed from the seed without heat or chemical refining, so it keeps its natural colour, aroma and nutrient profile.

Can I use pumpkin seed oil as a carrier oil?

Yes. It is used as a carrier and base oil in massage blends, facial oils and balms. It is heavier than oils such as grapeseed or sweet almond, so many formulators blend it at a lower percentage with a lighter carrier.

How should I store pumpkin seed oil?

Keep it sealed in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat, and close the cap firmly after each use. Unrefined seed oils keep best out of the light.

Do you deliver pumpkin seed oil across Australia?

Yes. We deliver Australia wide and you can also collect your order from our Welshpool WA store. Sizes run from a 100ml bottle up to 1L.
