Melon Seed Oil, derived from the seeds of the Cucumis melo (melon) fruit, is a lightweight, non-greasy carrier oil valued for its moisturizing and nourishing properties. Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins A, C, and E, and antioxidants, this oil supports skin hydration, elasticity, and repair. Traditionally used in skin and hair care formulations, Melon Seed Oil is prized for its ability to soften and protect delicate or sensitive skin without clogging pores. Its mild, slightly nutty aroma makes it an excellent base oil for cosmetic, therapeutic, and personal care applications.
