Reviews

Good quality

"Very good quality rosehip seed oil. I use in cold processed soap and always have great outcomes."

— Pamela (5/5)

Great Skin Product

"This is one of the oils that is great for dry, maturing skin. I use it in my facial serum, lotion bars for dry skin, and lip balm, among other things. You don't need much to add the great properties of this to your products. Supposed to help for aging skin, so it's in my facial products!! No noticeable scent, mixes in great."

Pumpkin Seed Oil

"Pumpkin Seed Oil is so moisturizing for your skin. It mixes extremely well in my lotions with the other oils and the goat milk. I combine this oil with Apricot oil and coconut oil. The mixtures of all these oils are absolutely wonderful on my skin. Then adding goat milk just enhances the moisturizing process on my skin. I highly recommend using the Apricot Kernel Oil when making lotions and I'm sure there are lots of other uses for this also."

"This oil is amazingly moisturizing and my hair loves it. I cannot wait to see what my customers think about it."

— Ebony (5/5)

Love the way it feels

"Love the way this assorbs into the skin as well as all the vitamins. It works well with other oils and is a wonderful oil. Unless you are going to use all of what you purchase at once, it is recommended to store this in a cool dark place, even the refrigerator."

— Kristina (5/5)

— Sarah (5/5)

Used in fall sugar scrub

"Added this to my fall sugar scrub, scented with Perfect Pumpkin fragrance. Beautiful."

— Mary (5/5)

Excellent OIl!

"I wish I could give a testimonial about how much this oil has benefitted my skin, but I don't want WSP to get in trouble with the FDA. LOL That being said, I've subbed pumpkin seed oil for the coconut oil that I usually use in my personal body butters (because it's too expensive to use in my retail butters), and the difference is amazing! My skin stays softer longer, and I can still feel the oils on my skin by the end of the day. I like a body butter that STICKS! Pumpkin seed oil is a heavier oil, so it doesn't absorb right away. If you like drier feeling oils, don't use this one in large amounts. However, the skin benefits are definitely worth purchasing gallons of this oil."

— Robyn (5/5)

Be aware

"You might have to buy a pumpkin fragrance oil to go with this,since the source is from the seed. Some people are unsure of this product due to other familiar anti-aging fighting oils. Hope this helps"

— Sheabutter36 (5/5)

Love this Oil!

"Pumpkin Seed Oil has become a staple on my shelf! The skin benefits exceeds so many other oils as to leaving your skin balanced and clearing up acne. Most of my customers who were suffering from acne have cleared their skin using this oil. It's very good for mature skin as well to reduce find lines and wrinkles. It blends with other oils very easily. I also use it in my beard oil and beard balms. Lovely oil!"

— Karen (5/5)

Q&A

How many cups of pumpkin seed oil are in 1 lb? Thank you!: 16 oz
Hi! How much would you use in a foaming sugar scrub, and what color would it turn when added?: The color and optimal amount will depend on your recipe, but you might start at 4-5% and adjust from there. Here is an example when used at 4.7%: https://www.wholesalesuppliesplus.com/handmade101/how-to-make-recipes/perfect-pumpkin-salt-scrub.aspx
Is this oil unrefined?: This is refined.
Can this pumpkin seed oil be used on the scalp and hair?: Yes, this can be used in hair care products.
Can your pumpkin seed oil be used in Melt & Pour soap? And if so, what would that recipe look like? Meaning, what would the ratio of soap to oil be?: Adding any type of carrier oil to MP soap will cut down on lather. You can add a small amount, if you choose, maybe 1-2% but be sure to test the soap to see how it lathers.
