Watermelon Seed Oil
Origin & history

In Namibia the melon is called Tsamma, and its oil has long been made at home: seeds dried in the sun, pounded, soaked, then boiled for hours until the oil rises. Rural women produced it for cooking, for massage and as a moisturiser. Watermelons are African in origin — Egyptian tomb paintings show them being eaten in the Nile Valley more than four thousand years ago.
