Watermelon seed oil is cold-pressed extracted from the seeds of the Citrullus lanatus fruit. This carrier oil remains unrefined with a clear, light-yellow appearance and mild characteristic aroma. As a plant-based material naturally high in linoleic acid content, an omega-6 fatty acid, watermelon seed oil is advantageous in cosmetic and personal-care formulations due to its ability to retain moisture. As a lightweight oil, it absorbs easily into the skin without leaving a greasy residue, a preferred quality for skin and haircare applications. Watermelon seed oil is commonly utilized in oil-based cleansers, serums, moisturizers, lotions, shampoos, and conditioners.
