Lightweight Hydration, Naturally Powerful
Our Watermelon Seed Oil is expertly cold-pressed from the sun-dried seeds of Citrullus vulgaris, a fruit treasured for its nourishing properties. Sourced from West Africa—where it’s traditionally known as Ootanga or Kalahari Oil—this ultra-light oil is rich in essential nutrients, yet effortlessly absorbed by the skin and hair without clogging pores or leaving a greasy residue.
Watermelon Seed Oil delivers intense hydration while feeling featherlight on the skin. Its unique ability to deeply penetrate without leaving residue makes it ideal for all skin types, especially oily or acne-prone skin, thanks to its zero comedogenic rating.
Packed with antioxidants and essential fatty acids, this oil supports the skin’s natural barrier, locks in moisture, and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines. It also promotes gentle exfoliation, removing dull, dead skin cells to reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion.
A lightweight conditioning treatment for all hair types, Watermelon Seed Oil enhances shine, improves manageability, and hydrates strands from root to tip. It helps detangle, tame frizz, and protect the hair from environmental stressors, all while promoting a healthy, nourished scalp.
With natural antifungal properties and fast absorption, it’s a clean, plant-based alternative to synthetic mineral oils commonly found in commercial haircare products.
