Safety Profile

Cucurbita Pepo Seed Oil is safe for topical use and is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. It has a low comedogenic rating which means that it has a low likelihood of clogging pores. However, this oil should be avoided by those with very oily skin to avoid greasiness. A patch test is recommended prior to full usage of products containing pumpkin seed oil. Since the oil comes from plant seed, it is considered vegan and halal.
