Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Fruit Extract

INCI name: Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Fruit Extract

Origin

Cucurbita Pepo Fruit Extract is derived from the pulp and sometimes the seeds of the pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo). Pumpkin originally comes from America and is now cultivated worldwide. For cosmetic purposes, the nutrient-rich components of the fruit, which are rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and plant nutrients, are used.

Production

Pumpkin fruit extract is obtained through gentle extraction from the fruit pulp. The bioactive plant compounds are dissolved under controlled conditions, filtered, and stabilized. Modern processes ensure that the valuable vitamins and secondary plant compounds are preserved.

Soothing effect: Can help to balance the skin and reduce visible irritations.

Supports a smooth complexion: Promotes a well-groomed, supple, and vital skin feeling.
