It Ingredient: Pumpkin
Demeter Pumpkin Pie 1 Oz Cologne Spray 20
By Tia Williams · Updated October 28, 2020

Fall is just so lovely — trees flush with red, gold, and orange leaves; toasty cardigans… and best of all, pumpkin everything.

And we’re not just talking about pie. This fall favorite is spiked in every beauty product under the sun right now! Its easy to see why. Pumpkin is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins A and C, as well as zinc, all ingredients that help exfoliate dead skin cells and aid in cell turner — in other words, it’s fabulous for skin and hair. Plus, it smells downright delicious!

From perfumes and lip balms to shower gels and candles, pumpkins are spicing up the season’s best pampering products.
