Q: Will the green colour affect my finished product?
A: Yes, pumpkin seed oil can tint formulas, especially at higher percentages.

Q: Does the nutty scent remain in products?
A: It can, particularly in anhydrous products like oils and balms.

Q: Is this better in leave-on or rinse-off products?
A: Many makers prefer it in leave-on products so the sensory and conditioning feel is more noticeable.
