A Brief History: The Story of Pumpkin
Pumpkin has come a long way from its ancient origins in the Americas to its current use in skincare. Pumpkin fruit and flower are high in antioxidants, minerals, and healthy fats [1][2]. In traditional Chinese and Indian medicine, pumpkin seeds and flesh were utilized to enhance digestion and vitality [1].
Today, pumpkin is more than simply a fall favorite; it's a skincare powerhouse! Pumpkin extract contains natural enzymes and antioxidants that gently exfoliate, moisturize, and soothe the skin, leaving it revitalized. So, this Halloween, let's celebrate pumpkin's glow-up, from kitchen to beauty regimen! 🎃✨
