Texiterra™ Kalahari Melon Seed Oil
Texiterra™ Kalahari Melon Seed Oil is a light, non-greasy and easily absorbed cold pressed oil rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. With a long history of traditional use in Africa, its high Omega 6 and Omega 9 content stimulates skin cell growth, prompting regeneration of skin cells, giving skin a fresher appearance.
Due to being rich in Vitamins A, C and E, Texiterra™ Kalahari Melon Seed Oil nourishes, protects and hydrates the skin, unclogging pores and reducing excess sebum. A tightening effect makes skin look firmer and the appearance of wrinkles is reduced. The product can be used in a range of applications, including skin creams, facial cleansers, hair care, and is even suitable for baby care products.
Texiterra® Kalahari Melon Seed Oil is available in 20Kg kegs and drums (your local representative will be able to advise you of availability). The oil should be stored between 10 and 25°C in the original, unopened container in a dry, well-ventilated place. Ensure the product is kept from freezing temperatures and direct sunlight. If the product is stored correctly, the oil will have a shelf life of 24 months.
