The Plant: Watermelon

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) is a creeping plant of the Cucurbitaceae family. It features triangular, trilobulate leaves and small yellowish flowers, producing a large fruit with succulent, sweet red pulp and flat black seeds.

The pulp has an extremely high water content (around 90%) making it an exceptionally refreshing fruit. Beyond its hydrating nature, watermelon pulp is naturally rich in sugars, B-complex vitamins, and essential minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Its red flesh contains high levels of lycopene and glutathione—two powerful antioxidants.

Botanical Asset

FRULIX WATERMELON possesses hydrating and nutritional properties ideal for hair conditioning as well as moisturizing and anti-aging skin care treatments.

FRULIX Exclusive Process

1. The Technology

FRULIX is obtained through an exclusive biotechnological process that mimics natural fruit ripening using native enzymes to transform solid pulp into a crystalline liquid.

Process Step 1

2. Enzyme Production

Fruits are harvested, washed, and made into a paste, which is fermented with targeted microorganisms to isolate specific pulp-softening enzymes.

Process Step 2

3. Fruit Processing

Fresh fruit pulp is inoculated with Frulix enzymes. Fibers and insoluble solids are removed, isolating the active liquid matrix.

Process Step 3

4. FRULIX Bioactive

The clear liquid undergoes preservation, quality standardization, and solvent-free filling ready for formulation.
