What the published studies found
Early evidence · 2 studies
Psoriasis
One systematic review mentions chamomile-pumpkin seed oleogel as one of many herbal therapies studied for psoriasis, and one study used pumpkin seed oil as a carrier in a UV-protective formulation that showed anti-inflammatory effects in a psoriasis-like model.

Early evidence · 1 study
Aging/Wrinkles
One animal study found that pumpkin seed extract demonstrated antioxidant properties and reduced oxidative stress markers in ovariectomized rats, suggesting potential anti-aging effects through enhanced antioxidant pathways. However, this research focused on menopause-related aging rather than skin aging/wrinkles specifically.

Burns/Wound Healing
One controlled animal study showed that Cucurbita pepo extract improved contact dermatitis in stressed rats by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. No human studies or clinical trials were found for wound healing or burn treatment with pumpkin seed oil.

Dry Skin
One in-vitro study found that fermented pumpkin peel and pulp extracts demonstrated cytoprotective effects on skin cells and were formulated into a moisturizing skin toner, but this was laboratory testing only without human trials for dry skin specifically.

Joint Inflammation
One animal study from 1995 showed pumpkin seed oil reduced inflammation markers and paw swelling in rats with induced arthritis, but no human clinical trials exist for joint inflammation.

Rash/Contact Dermatitis
One animal study found that topical pumpkin fruit extract significantly reduced contact dermatitis inflammation in depressed rats through anti-inflammatory and antioxidant mechanisms. No human clinical trials were identified for pumpkin seed oil specifically in treating rash or contact dermatitis.

Early evidence · 1 study
Sleep/Insomnia
One animal study found that Cucurbita pepo (pumpkin) extracts prolonged pentobarbital-induced sleep duration in mice at 200 mg/kg dose, suggesting potential hypnotic effects. However, this was only tested in an animal model using drug-induced sleep rather than natural insomnia.
