Kalahari Oil

Our Wild Watermelon Seeds are grown and harvested in the Northwest Province of South Africa. Our supplier has a purpose that aligns with our business brand and ethics. Their purpose is to have a positive impact on humans by being responsible and committed to sustainability. The Kalahari seeds are harvested, and approximately 96% of the biomass is returned to the soil, resulting in minimal wastage. Through this practice, there is social sustainability, ecological sustainability and economical sustainability.

The Kalahari Melon is indigenous to that region and the community has been devastated by drought for the past 80 years. We believe that we have a responsibility to support communities worldwide that have suffered economic losses and the impact of climate change. We cannot only help our own backyard, but we also live on this planet together, and who knows what will happen in the future, maybe we will need support from other countries.

The seed reigns supreme with its nutrient-dense profile and drought-resistant biology. In comparison, Kalahari oil has a 70% Essential Fatty Acids Profile and 2,800mg/k of Natural Vitamin E. This equates to 2 times the EFAs of Argan Oil and 5 times the Vitamin E of Argan Oil. Argan oil is amazing in itself; however, it is not a sustainable product because it takes 15 years or more to grow, and harvesting is a harsh process. Kalahari is grown yearly, and a huge amount of biomass is returned to the Earth.

Kalahari Oil has been used since Ancient Egyptian times to maintain healthy skin. It has a very light texture and is a good emollient for cosmetic products.

We use Kalahari Oil in our Beard Oil, Perfume with Purpose, and some of our skincare products. It is easy to see why we love Kalahari Oil.
