Cucumber Seed Oil

Cucumber Seed Oil (CAS 70955-25-8), also marketed as Cucumber Oil, is a cold-pressed vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of Cucumis sativus. Rich in linoleic acid, it is used across personal care, food, and pharmaceutical formulations.

The oil is primarily utilized for its moisturizing and skin-conditioning performance. In cosmetic formulations, it functions as a lightweight emollient in facial serums, eye creams, and after-sun products where fast absorption is valued.

Food manufacturers incorporate it as a specialty culinary oil and flavoring ingredient in premium dressings, dips, and gourmet food products. It provides a unique profile for high-end food applications and nutritional supplements.

Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical producers source it as a carrier oil in topical preparations and softgel formulations targeting skin health. It serves as an effective delivery system for various active pharmaceutical ingredients.

The oil also appears in natural and organic personal care lines as a direct replacement for heavier carrier oils in leave-on and rinse-off products. This versatility makes it a staple for modern green chemistry formulations.

Cucumber Seed Oil is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid, typically in bulk drums or intermediate bulk containers. It is available in cosmetic-grade and food-grade specifications to meet diverse industry requirements.

Cold-pressed and refined variants are offered depending on specific application needs. Organic-certified material is commercially available for brands targeting natural product lines and strict regulatory standards.
