Rhonda Allison Pumpkin Series

The Rhonda Allison “Pumpkin Series” is an expansive line of Cosmeceutical Products designed to replenish and restore skin - dissolving, softening, and exfoliating dead skin cells.

Using the Science of Chirality and the superior rejuvenating extracts of pumpkin combined with the ingredients of beta-carotene, lactic acid, rose hip oil, omega 6, and glutathione makes the Rhonda Allison Pumpkin Series an effective skin system for many skin types.

Pumpkin Cleanser

A daily “treatment” cleanser that leaves skin squeaky clean using the benefits of L-Lactic Acid for exfoliation and hydration, pumpkin extracts for digestion and antioxidant support, and beta-carotene (antioxidant and photo-protectant).

Pumpkin Lotion

This “treatment” toner adds additional rejuvenating benefits to the skin.

It is designed to freshen and tone skin after cleansing as well as provide a balance of moisture that hydrates and plumps skin tissue.

Due to the naturally-occurring nutrients in pumpkin, the rinse will bathe skin with valuable antioxidant and regenerating support.

Pumpkin Rinse is a valuable second phase cleansing for ultra-sensitive to normal, combination skin types.

It aids in maintaining proper skin pH.

Pumpkin Parfait Enzyme

A mild natural vegetable enzyme that dissolves surface cells, gives the skin a smooth polish, targets melanin, and infuses vitamin A into skin.

Reduces surface build-up, antioxidant, and mild exfoliant – a modified version of Rhonda Allison Pro Peel.

Pumpkin E Serum

Provides vital treatment therapy for oxygen-depleted skin.

The silky, velvety serum glides easily on skin and absorbs quickly, offering a potent supply of antioxidants and valuable hydration support.

Pumpkin - Nature's Own Collagen Therapy

Found to stimulate collagen in the skin, pumpkin is said to be nature’s own collagen therapy.

Inhibiting other factors that would cause the collagen, a major structural component of skin, to deteriorate, pumpkin is naturally high in zinc beta carotene, vitamin C, and Vitamin A.

What exactly is in pumpkin that makes it such a spectacular ingredient?

Look at the following:

Abscisic Acid: a plant growth hormone that slows the cellular biological clock.

Adenine: a nucleic acid base that attracts vitamin B into the repair process of DNA damaged by the ultraviolet radiation.

Adenosine: a sugar of adenine (see#2) which smoothly and uniformly rebuilds subcutaneous fat with the help of niacin attracted by adenine (see#2).
