Résumé : |
Elula Kalahari Melon Seed Oil (Kupanda Ltd) from Citrullus lanatus (INCI : Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Seed Oil) originates from the western Kalahari region of Namibia and Botswana, where it can be found in the wild in a diversity of forms together with other Citrullus species (Fig 1). It is a member of the Cucurbitaceae family, of which pumpkins and melons are widely known. The fruits and seeds are used in different ways in different countriesl and in the Kalahari region in Africa, C. lanatus is often used as a source of drinking water. The seeds are commonly roasted and salted for nutritional purposes. Known since the time of ancient Egyptians, the oil has been anecdotally used to care for the skin to maintain its healthy appearance." The oil is light in texture and therefore considered a highly suitable emollient for cosmetic formulations |
