Citrullus Lanatus (watermelon) Fruit Extract is derived from watermelon and is used in skincare for its antioxidant, hydrating, and skin-conditioning properties, attributed to its content of vitamins (A, C), amino acids like citrulline, and natural sugars. It helps protect the skin from oxidative stress and supports moisture retention.
