FSS Watermelon Extract G

FSS WATERMELON EXTRACT G

Watermelon is 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.

What makes watermelon a must-have is its lycopene. Lycopene is responsible for the deep red color of the watermelon fruit, and it is one of the most potent antioxidants in skin care. Antioxidants are substances that neutralize the free radicals that are found in the environment. According to the latest anti-aging research, free radicals are a primary factor that causes the degradation of structural proteins. These proteins are the building blocks that are responsible for providing the skin's support and elasticity. As the concentration of these structural proteins decreases, the skin’s overall appearance also degrades appearing aged, dull and wrinkled. Nevertheless, the damage that is caused by free radicals has also been shown to slow down cellular metabolism while simultaneously damaging the cell’s DNA and membranes. This damage can further accelerate the aging process, which unfortunately reduces the possibility of achieving a flawless complexion. In addition to lycopene, watermelon contains antioxidants Vitamin A and Vitamin C, which can help reduce skin inflammation, improve skin pigmentation, and promote healthy collagen production.
