What is it?

Citrullus Lanatus Fruit Extract — fruit extract with natural sugars and amino acid compounds that have hygroscopic (water-binding) properties. Mechanism: these natural moisturizing components attract and retain moisture on the skin's surface, providing light, refreshing hydration without a heavy occlusive effect. Additionally: watermelon extract contains lycopene — a carotenoid antioxidant that gives watermelon its characteristic pink color and protects skin cells from oxidative stress.

Light moisturizing gels and essences, refreshing serums for summer care, antioxidant formulas focusing on skin freshness.
