Your new preferred ingredient for moisturizing dry, damaged skin! Traditionally used in Chinese medicine, pumpkin oil is a favorite for its light color, mild odor and nutrient-dense properties. Naturally high in skin-improving zinc and vitamin E, it also contains phytosterols and omega-3, -6 and -9 fatty acids for enhanced moisturization and skin feel. Hallstar cooperates with pumpkin producers from various regions – like Honghe Village in southern China pictured here – to ensure the quality and stable supply of raw material. We also help farmers scientifically plan their harvests, leading to a long-term, sustainable supply chain. With a wide range of uses including body care, soaps, facial creams, lotions and sunscreens, Biochemica® Pumpkin Oil Refined Organic is your go-to for formulating cold-weather essentials.

Exxate® acetate esters are a line of high purity solvents manufactured by Hallstar that are designed for use in a range of agricultural applications such as EC’s, EW’s, OD’s and adjuvants. These moderately polar, low VOC and low water solubility products offer many formulation advantages including varying evaporation rates, minimal odor, and very low pour points. They are miscible with commonly used adjuvant oils and pesticidal solvent systems. As compared to many other solvents, Exxate® acetate esters have a much improved hazard and ecotox profile.
