Curcubita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Extract description

_Curcubita pepo_ seed extract, familiarly known as pumpkin seed extract, comes from the seeds of the common pumpkin. It has several subspecies that produce fruit including yellow summer squash, zucchini, and the classic round orange pumpkin. In addition to the seeds being edible, their extract has significant benefits when applied topically. As with most plant extracts, _Curcubita pepo_ seed extract has antioxidant properties that fight pro-aging free-radical damage. In addition, pumpkin seed extract is a rich source of fatty acids, among them linoleic, oleic, palmitic, and stearic acids. These fatty acids reinforce skin’s surface layers and barrier, resulting in a smoother, more even toned and youthful appearance.
