Kalahari Melon Seed Oil

Extracted from the seeds of the Kalahari melon, this lightweight botanical oil has a naturally high concentration of linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that plays an important role in healthy skin.

It brings together three things we believe skincare should offer: effective skin benefits, a connection to African heritage and a more thoughtful approach to ingredients.
