About
A botanical ingredient used mainly to condition skin and add antioxidant or soothing compounds. Safety is usually decent, though plant extracts can still irritate sensitive skin.
Cucurbita Maxima Seed Extract is the extract of the seeds of Cucurbita maxima, Cucurbitaceae. Its composition depends on the plant source and extraction method, so batch-to-batch variation is normal. No major hazard flags are listed in the batch data, so the main uncertainty is limited ingredient-specific human data.
