Watermelon Peel Extract
Citrullus lanatus
Peel
10:1
100% soluble in water
When enjoying a fresh slice of watermelon, most people discard the peel without a second thought. However, this often-overlooked part of the fruit has been valued for centuries for its functional properties. Watermelon Peel Extract 10:1 transforms this agricultural by-product into a high-value botanical ingredient, aligning perfectly with today’s focus on sustainability, plant-based nutrition, and clean-label formulations.
In traditional Chinese herbal practice, watermelon peel has a long history of use as a cooling botanical, commonly associated with helping the body maintain balance, hydration, and comfort during hot conditions. While modern consumers may not be familiar with this heritage, scientific interest has grown around the peel’s naturally occurring amino acids, polyphenols, and antioxidants, which contribute to its versatility in contemporary formulations.
Our Watermelon Peel Extract 10:1 is produced using a carefully controlled extraction process inspired by traditional herbal preparation methods. This approach is designed to preserve the plant’s naturally occurring bioactive compounds while ensuring consistency, safety, and scalability for commercial use. Compared with raw plant powders, the extract offers enhanced concentration, improved bioavailability, and greater formulation flexibility.
