Ingredients: 100% pure Kalahari Melon Seed Oil

This is not a very well-known oil at all.  However, traditionally it’s been used to protect the skin from the sun, as a moisturiser, in soaps, and to promote healthy, new hair growth.  It is said to reduce inflammation caused by conditions like acne and in combination with skin-friendly vitamins has a soothing effect.

The melonseeds the oil comes from, mostly grows in Namibia and Botswana, in the desert grows the wild watermelon. It contains Omega-6 fatty acids.  These are responsible to stimulate skin cell growth. It in turn regenerates skin cells to keep your skin looking young and blemish-free. This is also a great anti-oxidant oil. Because it is such a wonderful skin-regenerative oil, it can be used as a natural baby-oil.. You can even add a few drops of Lavender if you wanted it to smell a bit more like baby.

Do work it into your diet! Melon seeds are rich in magnesium, potassium, folate, zinc, protein and iron.

How do you use it? Kalahari Melon Seed oil is a wonderful skin oil, so add it to your facial serum along with Rosehip, Sweet Orange essential oil and Clary Sage essential oil. Because it is a carrier oil, do not use it on a collar or a pillowcase as you can with our blends or pure essential oils. It will leave a mark.  Do not use in a diffuser at all as it is not a volatile oil and cannot be broken up into small molecules in order to diffuse into your home. It is purely to use on the skin.  Please read more about carrier oils in our blogpost.
