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 highest quality 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 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.

Location: Covington, GA This is the perfect oil for making my summer facial moisturizing serum. Blended with Camellia Seed Oil. It's light and quick absorbing but still leaves me with well moisturized skin! Will definitely purchase again!

Location: Mineola, TX Find the effects of this oil much the same as Jojoba, but more moisturizing. Soothing for inflammation, especially when used in conjunction with Evening Primrose oil. Love being able to use what they put in the mega-expensive facial serums! Highly recommended!

Location: Fairfield, PA I love this oil. I use it as part of my OCM blend along with castor and jojoba oils. It moisturizes and removes my makeup without being too heavy for my acne-prone skin.
