Organic Pumpkin Oil

Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil Australia – Cold-Pressed Nourishment for Skin, Hair & Body

Pure Vivid’s Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil is cold-pressed from certified organically grown pumpkin seeds, yielding a dark, nutrient-dense oil with a rich, nutty aroma. Exceptionally high in zinc, vitamins A, C, and E, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and phytosterols — pumpkin seed oil is a true multi-tasker for skin, hair, and overall wellness. Its zinc content in particular makes it a favourite for supporting scalp health and reducing hair thinning.

Benefits of Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil

• Rich in Zinc for Scalp & Hair – Zinc is essential for healthy hair follicles. Regular scalp application with pumpkin seed oil may help reduce hair thinning and support a healthy scalp environment.
• Vitamins A, C & E for Skin – This vitamin trio provides antioxidant protection, supports skin cell renewal, and helps maintain collagen production for firmer, younger-looking skin.
• Omega-Rich for Barrier Support – Balanced omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids strengthen the skin’s lipid barrier, locking in moisture and reducing sensitivity to environmental triggers.
• Anti-Inflammatory – Phytosterols and omega-3 content help calm inflamed or irritated skin conditions including eczema and rosacea.
• Scalp & Hair Strengthening – Apply directly to the scalp to nourish follicles, reduce dandruff, and support overall hair health.

How to Use Pumpkin Seed Oil

For scalp treatment: Warm a small amount in your palms and massage into the scalp before showering. Leave for 30–60 minutes then shampoo out. For face and body: Apply 3–5 drops to clean skin. Due to its rich colour (dark green), start with a small amount to ensure it blends well with your skin tone. For hair: Apply a few drops to dry ends for conditioning and shine. Blends well with our Organic Castor Oil for an enhanced hair growth and scalp nourishing mask. For dietary use: Drizzle over salads, blend into smoothies, or add to yoghurt. Do not cook with pumpkin seed oil as heat damages its nutrients.

Available Sizes

Available in 100ml, 250ml, and 1000ml — suitable for personal use through to professional formulation and bulk purchasing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is pumpkin seed oil good for hair growth?

Pumpkin seed oil has been studied for its potential to support hair growth, primarily attributed to its high zinc content and delta-7 sterine, a plant sterol thought to inhibit DHT — a hormone associated with hair loss. While results vary, many users report improved hair density with consistent scalp application.

Can I eat pumpkin seed oil?

Yes. Our Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil is food-grade and excellent as a raw culinary oil. Use it as a finishing oil on salads, soups, and roasted vegetables. It should not be heated as this destroys its nutrients and beneficial fatty acids.

Will pumpkin seed oil stain my skin?

Pumpkin seed oil has a naturally dark green colour. On most skin tones it absorbs and blends in without staining, but use a small amount at first and blend well. It won’t permanently stain, but a small amount on light fabric could leave a temporary mark.

Is Pure Vivid Pumpkin Seed Oil certified organic?

Yes. Our Pumpkin Seed Oil is cold-pressed from certified organically grown pumpkin seeds, free from synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilisers.

What does pumpkin seed oil smell like?

Pumpkin seed oil has a distinctive, nutty, slightly earthy aroma. For skincare blending, consider combining with a more neutral oil such as our Organic Fractionated Coconut Oil to dilute both the colour and scent.
