The H2k Story
The main ingredient throughout the brand is the Kalahari melon oil. The seeds of the indigenous melon are grown in the Kalahari Desert area of Namibia in Africa. Kalahari Melon oil is classed as a vegetable oil, obtained by pressing the seeds of the melon and has some claimed properties as a moisturiser and skin feel additive. Many of H2k customers have suffered with skin conditions for years and as a result of using this brand their conditions have been alleviated.
Our Main Ingredient:-
Kalahari Melon Oil
Botanical: Citrullus lanatus
Family: Cucurbitaceae
Vernacular: Tsamma melon, Wild watermelon, Kalahari melon
Description:-
The Kalahari melon is the biological ancestor of the watermelon, now found all over the world, but which originated in the Kalahari region of Southern Africa. It is thought that as continental drift split Gondwanaland, the Cucurbitaceae family (gourd) was also split, generating different varieties across the latitudes. Unlike the common watermelon, whose flesh is sweet and red, the Kalahari melon’s juicy flesh is pale yellow or green, and tastes bitter. A creeping annual herb, the Kalahari melon has hairy stems, forked tendrils and three-lobed hairy leaves. Its flowers are bright yellow.
