OK, so pumpkin-themed items don’t always get the best rap. Pumpkin spice lattes are a notoriously basic girly drink—but also delicious, TBH—and pumpkin-colored beauty products might sound questionable (bright orange nail polish probably has an appropriate time and place, we’re just not sure when and where).
Still, it’s worth noting that pumpkin extract is packed with antioxidants vitamins A and C. Those powerhouse compounds can help smooth skin, boost collagen and healthy cell production, and generally give your complexion a soft, even radiance—and that is anything but basic.
The Body Shop Vanilla Pumpkin Hand Cream
The mix of pumpkin extract with hints of tonka bean, hazelnut, and maple syrup create a Goldilocks scent—not too sweet, not too savory, but just right. The non-greasy formulation absorbs quickly so hands will be soft (not sticky) and protected against the winter chill.
