Watermelon Fruit Extract
Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Fruit Extract · Citrullus Lanatus Fruit ExtractHydrator
A watermelon fruit extract — water-rich and carrying citrulline and amino acids, used as a mild humectant.
What it does
Watermelon fruit extract is drawn from the high-water-content flesh of Citrullus lanatus. It contributes water and water-soluble small molecules — primarily citrulline, glutamic acid, and other amino acids — that act as humectants at the skin surface. It also carries small amounts of carotenoids (lycopene, beta-carotene) that contribute antioxidant activity. It is a supportive hydrating ingredient rather than a targeted active.
