Frequently asked questions
What is Kalahari melon seed oil?
It is the oil cold pressed from the seeds of the wild Kalahari melon (Citrullus lanatus), a relative of watermelon, and is of African origin. INCI: Citrullus Lanatus Seed Oil.
How does Kalahari melon seed oil feel on skin and hair?
It is a very light, fast-absorbing oil with a soft, non-greasy finish, so it suits facial oils, serums and fine hair. Being cold pressed, it keeps a pale golden colour and a mild, nutty scent.
Is Kalahari melon seed oil the same as watermelon seed oil?
Both come from Citrullus lanatus and share the same INCI name; Kalahari melon is the wild form native to the Kalahari region. This grade is for cosmetic use and should not be used in food.
