Kalahari Watermelon Seed Oil - Organic

Skin Benefits . . .

Nutrient-rich composition Kalahari Watermelon Seed Oil is pressed from the seeds of the wild Kalahari melon, a desert plant known for thriving in extreme, arid conditions. The oil is rich in essential fatty acids, especially linoleic acid (omega-6), which helps maintain skin’s natural barrier, balance sebum production, and keep skin supple without heaviness. - - 

– Deep hydration without greasiness. Unlike heavier oils, it absorbs quickly into the skin, delivering hydration and nutrients without clogging pores. Its lightweight texture makes it ideal for all skin types, including oily, blemish-prone, and combination skin.

– Rich in antioxidants, it naturally contains vitamin E and other antioxidants that protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental aggressors. This helps prevent premature aging and supports the skin’s resilience against free radical damage. 

– Purifying and balancing Kalahari Watermelon Seed Oil has mild detoxifying and cleansing properties that can help flush out impurities from pores. Its high linoleic acid content helps regulate sebum, which may improve the look of congested or breakout-prone skin.

– Soothing and supportive, this oil is known for its gentle, soothing effect on irritated or inflamed skin. It nourishes while helping the skin feel calm and balanced, making it a versatile choice for sensitive and stressed complexions.

Properties: emollient, anti-aging, ideal for acne, skin softener, absorbs quickly, high in Vitamin E, traditionally used for hair growth.

Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients

Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life.
Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible 

Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.

Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark

Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator.
Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.    

Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt

Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place.   
Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated.
Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove
what you need and keep the rest in the fridge.
Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years.
Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location.
Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years.
They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place.
Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.
