Description : Watermelon carrier oil is a perfect blend for body or facial oils being effective on greasy skin types. The light texture, moisturizing capabilities and stable shelf life of watermelon seed oil allows it to easily blend with most of the essential oils.
|
Constituents : linoleic (68.3%), oleic (13.3%), palmitic (11.4%), and stearic (7%) acids. |
Uses : Watermelon seed oil is used in baby formulations, creams, lotions, soaps, and eye creams. Watermelon seed oil is good for oily skin. It reduces skin oil ( sebum ) on the skin by dissolving it away. As a result, the skin is much less oily after application with watermelon seed oil and washing it. This fact is helpful for skin conditions that are aggravated by excessive oil production like acne.
|
Benefit : Watermelon seed oil is loaded with essential proteins, vitamins, and minerals that enrich hair and skin. Its unsaturated fatty acids hydrate the skin, and, unlike some oils, it absorbs quickly into the skin, which means it is perfect for all types: dry, oily, or acne-prone. |
Caution Note: always use with caution on people with nut allergies.
