Kalahari Melon LipoActive+ is a natural, sustainable and bioconverted phyto-active skin barrier care ingredient, containing a holistic profile of lipids and functional compounds. The bioconversion process delivers a critical mix of structural (ceramide, free-fatty acids, and cholesterol), supportive (DAGs, MAGs and TAGs) and signalling lipids, which boost the natural moisturising factor (NMF) for lasting hydration. The functional compounds, including phytosterols, squalene, tocopherols and waxy esters, help to prevent aggression to the skin from external stressors, reduce inflammation, oxidation and enhance overall skin comfort.
The Kalahari Melon is the biological predecessor to the common watermelon, and is smaller in size and rounder in shape. Unlike the common watermelon, the bitter tasting pulp is yellow-green and conceals numerous oil-rich brown seeds. The miracle of the Kalahari Melon is its ability to withstand the unrelenting heat and drought conditions offered by the Kalahari desert.
