Functions
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Emulsifying
Forces oil and water to stay mixed instead of separating into layers. The unsung hero holding your lotion together.
Locks in moisture
Traditional Use
A modern emulsified derivative of watermelon seed oil developed for cosmetic formulations. Watermelon seeds themselves have been used in traditional African and Asian cuisines and skincare for their nutritive properties.
