FSS Kalahari Melon Extract G PF
Background:
As more consumers adopt healthier lifestyles, superfoods are becoming a dietary staple. These nutritional fruits, vegetables, and grains offer potent health benefits inside of the body to promote vitality. Beauty brands incorporate superfoods to encourage a healthy complexion outside of the body. Skin and hair benefit from nutritional attributes such as vitamins and minerals present in these foods. Superfoods such as Kalahari melons are also known to rejuvenate the skin and hair with antioxidant protection, hydration potentials, and cellular renewal. Fruits are a staple in the food and beauty industry as they offer extensive nutritional and health benefits. Melons not only offer a delicious taste, but also provide a high water content capable of nourishing and revitalizing the skin and hair. Melons encourage more than just a refreshment on a summer day. These versatile fruits create an oasis for the complexion and promote a healthy aesthetic.
Kalahari melons are the newest skin care superfood your face is craving. This juicy super fruit is rich in potassium, Vitamins A, C, and B, amino acids, and lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that helps minimize the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. Healthy skin is hydrated skin. When our skin becomes dry, it often becomes flaky. Fine lines are typically more apparent and our skin is more susceptible to irritation and inflammation. Amino acids are often used in a variety of cosmetic applications not only for their conditioning benefits, but also to keep our skin and hair hydrated. In addition to being the fundamental building blocks of all proteins, amino acids also contribute to our body’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) to maintain proper hydration levels. The amino acids in watermelon can help to promote healthy, hydrated skin.
Vitamins and minerals moisturize the hair and encourage scalp health. Protecting the integrity of the scalp reduces the occurrence of dandruff and promotes hair growth. Melons are known to offer healthy hair and hydrated skin for a revitalized complexion. FSS Kalahari Extract G PF offers nourishing and rejuvenating benefits while providing the opportunity to capitalize on the benefits associated with Kalahari melon in a variety of hair and skin care applications.
