Description
Citrullus Lanatus Fruit Extract, commonly known as watermelon extract, is a valued skincare ingredient. It is rich in skin-nourishing nutrients, including vitamins (A, B, C, and E), minerals (potassium, magnesium, calcium, and iron), amino acids such as citrulline and arginine, and antioxidant carotenoids and phenolic compounds. It is particularly high in lycopene, a potent antioxidant responsible for the fruit's red color and a key compound in its profile. In-vitro studies indicate that watermelon extract provides significant DNA protection against ultraviolet radiation, a finding confirmed in in-vivo studies showing a 25% increase in skin protection.
