It is called Pumpkin Seed Oil because the seeds of the Cucurbita Pepo (Styrian Pumpkin) are used to make the oil. This particular type of pumpkin seed does not have a shell, which makes it easier to extract the oil.
The seeds are pressed to extract the dark green oil, which is why it is referred to as “Green Gold”. Pumpkin seed oil is one of the richest oils available as it contains Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, Vitamins A, C, E, Zinc and it is loaded with minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium, manganese and calcium.
I like to use Pumpkin Seed Oil during an aromatherapy facial massage for mature skin that is a bit on the dry side. It is so rich and emollient as well as nutrient dense that is really helps pack in the goodness.
