About
Pumpkin fruit extract, rich in enzymes and vitamins that gently exfoliate and renew skin texture.
Cucurbita pepo fruit (pumpkin) is rich in beta-carotene (provitamin A), vitamin C, zinc, and omega fatty acids. Pumpkin pulp enzymes (like bromelain in pineapple) provide gentle exfoliating properties. No EU cosmetics restrictions apply to pumpkin fruit. The carotenoid content provides antioxidant benefits and may contribute to a warm natural pigment in cosmetic formulations.
