NON EDIBLE OIL
Botanical Name: Citrullus lanatus

Features: Watermelon Refined Oil is derived from the seeds of the fruit, which are pressed to extract the oil. The refining process helps remove impurities and maintains a neutral scent and colour, making it a suitable choice for products where fragrance and colour should remain unchanged. Its fast absorption and lightweight feel make it ideal for facial and leave-on applications, providing a smooth, non-greasy finish. In hair care formulations, it helps enhance shine and manageability without weighing the hair down.
Properties/Benefits: Watermelon Refined Oil is composed predominantly of unsaturated fatty acids, which contribute to its light, fast-absorbing nature. It is suitable for use in the oil phase of emulsions and blends well with other carrier oils, butters, and waxes. Its high linoleic acid content makes it a popular ingredient in products designed to leave the skin feeling balanced and comfortable.
