Cucurbita Pepo Seed Extract
Explained
Cucurbita Pepo Seed Extract comes from pumpkin seeds. It is rich in vitamin E and plenty of fatty acids such as linoleic acids.
Pumpkin seeds also have zinc and carotenoids, a type of antioxidant.
Pumpkin seeds also contain fruit enzymes that act as an AHA. AHAs help exfoliate your skin, clean out pores, and increase cell turnover.
Fun fact: This ingredient comes from the field pumpkin, including winter squash and the traditional orange pumpkin we see in Autumn. Pumpkins were first domesticated in Southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago.
