Kalahari Melon Seed Oil

KALAHARI MELON SEED OIL

From the heart of the African desert comes a deeply nourishing and hugely hydrating carrier oil, Kalahari Melon Seed Oil. 

It derives from the Citrullus lanatus fruit once considered a weed and found in abundance in Africa’s Kalahari - a scorching and barren place where many plants stand no chance of survival. Here, the aptly named Kalahari Melon flourished for centuries, overlooked by farmers and yet essential sustenance for nomads as they crossed the plains. Only recently recognised for their powerful health benefits, the fruit’s seeds are filled with essential fatty acids and other constituents particularly good for skin and hair management. Cold pressed, they produce a lightweight carrier oil that’s rich in natural properties and is now highly prized in personal care circles. 

Powerful and all natural, Kalahari Melon Oil is suitable for direct application on the skin and hair or used to dilute essential oils for various therapeutic and cosmetic applications.
