Watermelon Glycerite Extract – Citrullus lanatus
Hydrate, Plump, and Protect
Citrullus lanatus, better known as watermelon, isn’t just a summer treat. When extracted into a glycerite, it becomes a genuinely useful skincare ingredient - light, hydrating, and packed with antioxidants. Think of it as a simple, skin-loving botanical that actually does what it promises: helps skin feel fresher, softer, and more resilient.
Hydrating Skincare Benefits You’ll Actually Notice
Deep hydration that feels light, never sticky — ideal if your skin gets tight, dull, or dehydrated.
Brighter, fresher-looking complexion thanks to naturally occurring antioxidants.
Supports elasticity and helps soften the look of early fine lines.
Calms irritation and helps balance oil — gentle enough for sensitive or breakout-prone skin.
Gives a plump, dewy feel without relying on heavy creams or oils.
Watermelon extract has been studied for its ability to support the skin barrier and reduce trans-epidermal water loss. In plain terms: it helps the skin hold onto hydration for longer. That’s why it works so well in everyday formulas - it doesn’t overpromise, but it quietly makes a noticeable difference. — Sandra
A Deeper Look
Lycopene Power: This antioxidant helps shield the skin from daily environmental stress and oxidative damage - two major contributors to premature ageing. It supports elasticity and encourages a smoother, more even complexion.
Hydration Hero: Glycerine draws moisture into the skin; watermelon naturally contains water and nutrients. Together, they provide deep, lasting hydration for dry, rough, or tired skin.
Vitamin-Rich Revival: Vitamins A and C help support collagen production, repair the look of stressed or damaged skin, and brighten areas of dullness.
Anti-Inflammatory & Soothing: Watermelon’s amino acids help calm redness, soften irritation, and support oil balance — making this extract suitable even for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
