Product Overview

Watermelon Seed Carrier Oil—cold-pressed from nutrient-dense watermelon seeds (Citrullus lanatus)—is a remarkably lightweight, fast-absorbing, and non-greasy fixed carrier oil celebrated globally in advanced facial serums, oil-balancing lightweight moisturizers, hair care elixirs, and luxury spa massage blends. Naturally abundant in essential polyunsaturated fatty acids—predominantly linoleic acid (Omega-6, typically 55%–68%) alongside oleic acid (Omega-9), natural tocopherols (Vitamin E), and phytosterols—it delivers exceptional skin-conditioning benefits without clogging pores (comedogenic rating of 0–1). It imparts a pale, crystal clarity, a mild nutty-neutral aroma, and a silky, dry-touch skin finish that effortlessly dissolves sebum while locking in deep moisture.
