Pumpkin seed oil helps the skin maintain its moisture. It would probably make a lovely lotion because of the antioxidants it has, but I was in a soaping mood. I'm toying of making a salad dressing or dipping oil with some of the pumpkin seed oil: a little basamic (or cider) vinegar, pumpkin seed oil, olive oil, a little garlic, onion, rosemary and such. Cooking destroys the essential fatty acids.
