HOW TO USE IT

Skin Care
  • Dry and mature skin will benefit from using Watermelon Seed Oil as it improves the softness of the skin and keeps it radiant and supple. It locks moisture into the skin keeping it hydrated and younger looking.
  • Its super light texture makes useful heavier oils like Shea Butter feel lighter and more elegant enabling them to be used in light body lotions and serums.
  • Watermelon Seed Oil is a superb oil to use in eye cream formulations as it absorbs into the skin very quickly, is not greasy, gives excellent moisturisation.
  • It’s a very dry feeling oil that is rich in Omega 6 and Omega 9 Essential Fatty Acids. This makes it a very stable oil but it also has the ability to penetrate the skin very quickly without clogging the pores.
  • The dry and elegant texture of Watermelon Seed Oil makes it an excellent choice for men’s grooming products such as facial serums where the user does not want the skin to feel shiny and greasy after application.
  • Watermelon Seed Oil is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive skin and baby products.
Hair Care
  • Watermelon Seed Oil is good for moisturising the hair and scalp.
  • It keeps the hair soft and because it sinks in so quickly, does not feel heavy on the hair. It does a good job of detangling curls and leaves no sticky or greasy coating on the hair.
