< Back Watermelon Seed Oil Watermelon Seed Oil is a rapidly absorbed carrier oil with a refreshing light, dry feeling. Because of its high content of linolenic acid (1) (51.4%) it’s known to balance sebum levels (2) , which helps clear up breakouts in acne prone skin. It locks moisture in, therefore reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) (3) , providing an optimal environment for cell regeneration and renewal.

< Back Cucumber Extract According to research Cucumber Extract is anti-inflammatory (1) and due to the presence of numerous vitamins including A, C and K, it has multiple properties. As a natural antioxidant it neutralizes free radicals on the skin that cause damage and premature aging. It’s refreshing and lightly scented, and a natural mild astringent. It has been used for ages as a tool to reduce puffiness and dark circles around the eyes, even skin tone, and clear up breakouts. Cucumber is extremely hydrating due to its water content (95%) and one of its phytonutrients, cucurbitacins (2) , showed in cell culture to inhibit the multiplication and survival of cancerous cells, a 2010 Scientific Word Journal published.
