Kalahari melon seed oil is a light choice for skin care when you prefer a dry finish
and very little scent. Cold-pressed from Citrullus lanatus seeds, it spreads easily

its own in small amounts or as a base for your own oil blends.

## Benefits and uses

This is the perfect oil for my facial moisturizer. I use a blend of 2/3 Kalahari
Watermelon Seed Oil & 1/3 Rosehip Oil. I add Frankincense & Geranium essential oils
to the blend. The Kalahari Oil absorbs rapidly so you are not left with a greasy
feeling on your face. With this blend of Carrier oils & EOs, my skin looks & feels
amazing. And it is perfect for clearing up any brown spots on the skin. I originally
bought this product from Amazon. But, Au Natural Organics is the only supplier I
will buy this oil from.
