Is Pumpkin the Most Underrated Beauty Ingredient? These 9 Products Say Yes

From exfoliating treatments to brightening masks, these pumpkin-infused products promise a wealth of benefits that will last long past Halloween.

When it comes to pumpkins, we pick them, we carve them, we roast them, we bake them—the list only stops short at slathering them on our skin. That is, until now, as a wave of beauty labels introduce the powerhouse plant, which is rich in enzymes, amino acids, antioxidants, and vitamins A and E, into their skin-care offerings.

“Pumpkin doesn’t get the attention it should,” says Chanel Jenae, the cofounder and vice president of Arcona, a Los Angeles–based spa that incorporates pumpkin oil and enzymes into its signature facials and best-selling, skin-smoothing body lotion. “It’s really nourishing.”
