Explained
Cucurbita Pepo Fruit Extract comes from the field pumpkin, including winter squash and the traditional orange pumpkin we see in Autumn.
Studies show pumpkin extract to have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and healing properties.
Pumpkins are rich in dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and Vitamin C, manganese, magnesium, and potassium.
These vitamins and minerals all help hydrate, nourish, and protect skin.
The beta-carotene content provides excellent antioxidant properties. In fact, the antioxidant and nourishing potential of pumpkin has been studied extensively.
According to dermatologists, pumpkin enzyme is an AHA with similar properties to glycolic and lactic acid.
