Cold-pressed Ootanga (watermelon seed) oil from West African Kalahari watermelons. Among the lightest face oils available — absorbs in seconds, leaves zero residue. Comedogenic rating 0.
Comedogenic 0; lighter than jojoba, grapeseed, or argan.
Mimics skin sebum without clogging pores.
Long-term use reduces apparent pore size.
Increases skin hydration by 17% in 4 weeks (clinical study).
Yield is low (1kg watermelon seeds → 100ml oil). Most watermelon seeds aren't even processed for oil.
Perfectly — comedogenic rating 0 makes it ideal for oily/acne-prone skin.
Sourced from African farms that grow Kalahari watermelons specifically for seed harvest.
Our oil is cosmetic. Watermelon seed oil is edible in some cultures.

Brewoil's watermelon seed oil is cold-pressed and lab-verified.
This is the oil for people whose skin hates oils: it absorbs instantly, never blocks pores, dissolves excess sebum, and leaves a clean matte-soft feel — ideal under makeup and in humid Indian summers.
On hair it adds slip and shine with zero weight, even on the finest strands.
Press two to four drops onto damp skin any time of day — it vanishes. Smooth a drop over hair surface for gloss. Layers under sunscreen and makeup without pilling.
Watermelon seed suits oily, combination, acne-prone and humidity-stressed skin, and fine hair. Patch test first.
