Kalahari Ootanga Oil (Prehistoric Watermelon Seed Oil)

With a multitude of uses, Kalahari Ootanga Oil (locally referred to as tsamma) is a must have in every beauty cabinet. Basking under the intense sun of the Kalahari Desert, seeds of water-laden, indigenous watermelons, tsamma melons, intensify in their hydroxyl radical-scavenging anti-oxidant powers. The results is a powerful oil, nongreasy and nonclogging, that penetrates skin's surface to eradicate toxins and debris while offering gentle, yet effective moisturization.

The only source of income for many, these amazing little seeds are grown and harvested by women indigenous to the harsh, barren desert. Women living in straw huts dance with praises each time their seeds are collected, and they receive their only income. The seeds are then driven miles away where they are cold pressed at an oil mill in another part of Namibia before being air shipped to Shea Terra Organics.

Your skin changes daily. Pollutants that it comes across, sun exposure level, your vitamin and mineral intake, the quality and amount of your water, and so on all affect and change your skin. Likewise, the skin oils that you use should change from time to time. What works for you one week might not work for you the next week.
