Hodgsonia macrocarpa
Large-seeded cucurbit from Southeast Asia whose seed oil is used in folk medicine for skin and as lamp oil.
Hodgsonia macrocarpa is a large-seeded cucurbit native to Southeast Asia, whose seed oil is traditionally used as a skin emollient and lamp oil. Modern research suggests antioxidant properties attributed to its content of fatty acids, sterols, and tocopherols. The oil is applied topically for skin conditions, but clinical evidence remains limited.
The oil's high content of linoleic and oleic acids supports skin barrier function by replenishing lipids and reducing transepidermal water loss. Tocopherols (vitamin E) act as chain-breaking antioxidants, scavenging free radicals and protecting against oxidative stress. Sterols such as β-sitosterol may contribute to anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting phospholipase A2 and reducing prostaglandin synthesis. However, specific receptor pathways have not been fully elucidated in human studies.
