Description
NutrActive Pumpkin Oil, also known as pumpkin seed oil, is extracted from the seeds of the pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo). Rich in essential nutrients, antioxidants, and fatty acids, pumpkin oil is valued for its health benefits, especially for the skin, hair, heart, and overall wellness. The oil is dark green or reddish in color, with a nutty flavor, and is commonly used in both culinary and medicinal applications.
How Pumpkin Oil Works and Its Health Benefits:
Hair Health:
- Promotes Hair Growth:
- Pumpkin seed oil contains phytosterols and essential fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6, which improve scalp health and stimulate hair growth. It has been found effective in treating hair loss (particularly androgenetic alopecia) by reducing the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is associated with hair thinning.
- Strengthens Hair:
- The high vitamin E content in pumpkin seed oil strengthens hair follicles, making the hair thicker, shinier, and less prone to breakage. It also improves hair elasticity.
For Hair Uses:
- Hair Growth Oil:
- Massage pumpkin seed oil directly into your scalp or mix it with your regular hair oil. Leave it on for 30 minutes to an hour before rinsing it off to promote hair growth and scalp health.
For Skin Uses:
- Facial Oil:
- Apply a few drops of pumpkin seed oil to the face as a daily moisturizer. It can be used alone or mixed with other oils like jojoba or rosehip oil for added benefits.
