Rich in vitamins A, E and C,&nbsp;pumpkin powder leaves the skin feeling soft and supple. Pumpkins contain enzymes and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) that gently exfoliate the skin, giving a healthy glow.

<i>Cucurbita pepo</i>&nbsp;is native to China.&nbsp;It belongs to the cucumber (Cucurbitaceae) family, range from yellow to bright orange in colour and can grow very large and heavy. There are many annual record-breaking attempts from growing the largest to how fast one can carve a face into a pumpkin - can you beat 24 seconds?

The edible flesh, encased in a tough outer shell, contains an inner membrane and seeds. The&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lush.com/uk/en/i/organic-pumpkin-seed-butter">seeds</a>&nbsp;are usually coated in a thin husk (although huskless varieties exist) and are extremely nutritious.

To make the powder, pumpkins are cleaned, pitted, sliced, then gently dried using solar energy and finally, ground.
