HYDROLYZED CUCURBITA PEPO SEEDCAKE

Description

Hydrolyzed Cucurbita Pepo Seedcake is a potent skincare ingredient derived from the seeds of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo). This innovative extract is obtained through a hydrolysis process, which breaks down complex molecules into smaller, more easily absorbed components. Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, this ingredient offers multiple benefits for skin health and appearance.

The hydrolyzed form enhances the bioavailability of its active compounds, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin E, and zinc. These components work synergistically to support skin barrier function, improve hydration, and combat free radical damage. The ingredient's high antioxidant content helps protect the skin from environmental stressors and premature aging.

Hydrolyzed Cucurbita Pepo Seedcake also contains enzymes and amino acids that promote cell turnover and collagen production, contributing to improved skin texture and elasticity. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin types. This versatile ingredient can be incorporated into various skincare formulations, including serums, moisturizers, and masks, to address multiple skin concerns simultaneously.
