It's really full of good-for-the-skin stuff: it contains a bunch of vitamins (A, B, C and E), mineral salts (K, Mg, Ca and Fe), amino acids citrulline and arginine and antioxidant carotenoids and phenolics. It's especially rich in potent antioxidant, lycopene (a type of carotenoid), the cool pigment that's responsible for the red color of the watermelon.

The in-vivo (made on real people) study also confirmed this and the watermelon formula showed 25% increase in skin protectio what‑it‑does emollient | solvent emollient | viscosity controlling soothing | emollient | moisturizer/humectant antioxidant | soothing soothing | skin brightening irritancy, com. antimicrobial/antibacterial cell-communicating ingredient | skin brightening | anti-acne | moisturizer/humectant antioxidant | skin brightening
