Watermelon seed oil is also known as ootanga oil and kalahari oil.
In Africa, Watermelon seeds have been prized for the highly
nutritive oil that they contain. Traditionally, the seeds are
removed from the rind and then allowed to dry outside in the sun.
Once dried, the seeds are then pressed to extract the beneficial
oil. We provide the most superior watermelon seed oil available,
carefully sourced and packaged to maintain the purity, freshness
and beneficial properties of this highly nutritive oil. The light texture, moisturizing capabilities and stable shelf life
of watermelon seed oil lends it to be a highly suitable addition to
natural baby oil formulations. Unlike mineral oil that is a common
ingredient in commercial baby oils, watermelon seed oil does not
clog pores or prevent the body from naturally eliminating toxins
through the skin. The rich composition of essential fatty acids
contained in watermelon seed oil helps to restore elasticity to the
skin. It, therefore, is also a wonderful addition to skin care
formulations for all skin types, including dry, oily, acne-prone or
maturing skin. Watermelon seed oil is also a perfect choice for
inclusion in hair care formulations as it is non-greasy yet highly
moisturizing. Watermelon Seed Oil Properties: Light in Texture Non-Greasy Penetrating Absorbs Quickly Highly Moisturizing Emollient Rich in Omega 6 and 9 EFAs Dissolves Sebum Buildup Stable Shelf-Life
