Discover the Ultimate Hydration Boost for Your Skin
Posted on June 25, 2024 Written by: 100% PURE®
As we become more focused on the ultimate summer skin glow, hydration tends to be a topic that’s brought up a lot. You may hear “Don’t forget to hydrate,” or “Drink plenty of water!” But let’s face it: the sun can zap precious hydration from our bodies and skin quicker than we can maintain homeostasis. On top of dehydration is discovering that our go-to moisturizer is more of a mirage than a real thirst trap for dehydrated skin.
While we can’t stop the sizzling summer temps or its skin-sapping conditions, we can safeguard our skin with the ultimate hydration. Enter hydrating moisturizers – and not just your garden-variety type! Since many moisturizers claim to provide the best in hydration, yet offer watered-down results, we wanted to create the best hydrating moisturizer for the ultimate glow-up!
Imagine having skin so hydrated and plump that it glows from within and out? Leave the glow wand to us with our Watermelon Cucumber Water Locking Moisturizer, a revolutionary product that locks in moisture and revitalizes your skin. A mega-magical moisturizer where water-rich watermelon meets the powerhouse in skin hydration – you’re in for the ultimate hydration glow-up!
Behind the Watermelon Cucumber Water Locking Moisturizer
By now we’ve all had our fair share of all kinds of moisturizers. All the way from Acne moisturizers to Zinc-oxide moisturizers – and let’s not neglect the ‘interesting’ bee venom or snail mucus ones - there’s practically an alphabet full of the different types of moisturizers. While some of these should stay shrouded in mystery, others are more specific to a skin type – unless it’s a hydrating moisturizer!
Unlike many conventional moisturizers made with harsh ingredients and synthetic chemicals that provide unhealthy benefits to your skin, the unique formulation of our Watermelon Cucumber Water Locking Moisturizer combines the hydrating power of watermelon and soothing cucumber with cutting-edge hydrogel technology. In fact, it was the heavenly hydrating marriage of watermelon and cucumber hydrogels to create the ultimate ‘watermelon-sugar high’ for your skin!
Due to its emollient and moisturizing action, watermelon hydrogel revitalizes dehydrated skin cells by replenishing the skin’s moisture, improving hydration levels, and reducing dryness and roughness. Watermelon hydrogel also improves moisture retention and supports the skin's natural moisture complex.
What could you add to the already stellar reputation of watermelon for skin to launch your complexion into the hydration heavens? Its cousin from another melon mother, cucumbers! That’s’ right! Whether it’s your regular old American or English cucumbers, those fruity swords are loaded with skin-loving H2O.
Since cucumber is mainly made up of water, it’s an ideal plant for hydrosol distillation. Our aromatic cucumber hydrosol delivers a fresh burst of hydration to nourish and condition skin while cooling skin to reduce inflammation. Since cucumbers are high in water content, these crunchy cukes can deeply soothe and refresh dry or dehydrated skin.
Where does a harmonious fusion of nature with watermelon and cucumber hydrogels meet with modern innovation at 100% PURE? Although we are a clean beauty brand, we function as a technology and skincare-driven innovation lab. We have a meticulous formulation process behind creating our skincare, from selecting to combining the best natural ingredients to ensure the best natural products. And, our water-locking moisturizer is no exception!
And by intense formulation, our brand adheres to a 9-Step Testing Process to make sure we are creating the most effective, cutting-edge product that is safe for you your health, and the environment. Aside from our expertise in natural ingredients, our dedication to the meticulous formulation of this hydration hero ensures maximum hydration and skin health.
What Makes This Moisturizer Special
Between meticulously selecting and combining the best of nature’s ingredients to formulate the best hydrating moisturizer – backed by rigorous testing of efficacy – must make it stand out and special, right? That’s just the tip of the vibrant green rind!
The unique, cutting-edge hydrogel technology featuring watermelon and cucumber hydrosols locks in moisture and delivers active ingredients deep into the skin. Hydrosols are the aromatic water remaining after an essential oil is distilled by steam. They contain micro-molecules of essential oils and strengthen the surface immunity of the skin. Hydrosols are a gentler version of essential oils — with a higher water content, and are perfect for sensitive skin.
Among its many uses, we’ve incorporated watermelon hydrosol, a product of the steam distillation of watermelon fruit, into our Watermelon Cucumber Water Locking Moisturizer due to its stellar emollient and moisturizing action as well as its antioxidant and anti-aging properties. Watermelon hydrosol is not only soothing for the skin but is also rich with lycopene to restore sun damage and intensely hydrating to promote cell regeneration.

Step-by-Step Application
Step 1: Cleansing
Begin cleansing by exfoliating and preparing your skin for better absorption with our Acai Pulp Facial Scrub. This gentle yet effective exfoliant uses natural acai pulp to slough away dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion. Use this scrub 2-3 times a week to keep your skin clear and to enhance the absorption of subsequent skincare products.
Step 2: Toning
Apply a hydrating toner to prepare the skin. Our soothing Flower Water Toner uses rose water and other floral hydrosols like calendula hydrosol to quench thirsty skin cells and reduce redness. Botanical-based hyaluronic acid locks in hydration, while plant peptides, stem cells, and ceramides increase elasticity and firmness, resulting in a plumped, softened, and soothed complexion.
Step 3: Serum
Vitamin C, sourced from citrus fruits, is a powerhouse antioxidant that brightens the complexion and boosts collagen production. It is a key component of 100% PURE’s Vitamin C Serum, which effectively evens out skin tone, fades dark spots and enhances radiance.
Step 4: Moisturizing
Apply Watermelon Cucumber Water Locking Moisturizer. A long-lasting moisturizer that hydrates, plumps, rejuvenates and smooths skin with watermelon and cucumber hydrosols, hyaluronic acid (from sweet potatoes), and polyglutamic acids (from natto beans). This cruelty-free serum also helps to promote cell regeneration and reduce signs of aging. Includes moisturizing Irish moss extract, moisture-locking hyaluronic acid, plus antioxidant olive squalene to provide long-lasting hydration without a greasy feel.
PRO-TIP: Use upward motions and ensure even coverage.
Step 5: Sun Protection (Morning Routine)
Apply a broad-spectrum SPF like our Yerba Mate Mist SPF 30, essential sun protection for daily use. This lightweight mist is made with nourishing yerba mate, which is chock-full of antioxidants for protection against free radical damage and the signs of premature aging. This reef-safe natural sunscreen spray has an application that’s easy to apply on the fly, and we use a compressed air canister built into the bottle to eject the formula, instead of ozone-harming CFCs.

FAQs About Our Watermelon Cucumber Water Locking Moisturizer
Can watermelon help with acne-prone skin?
Yes! When the skin’s barrier is not working properly, the skin can get very dehydrated. This makes the skin dry, inflamed, and at risk for inflammatory skin conditions like eczema, rosacea, acne, and psoriasis. Watermelon contains cucurbitacin E, a compound known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It can help reduce inflammation in the skin, which can be beneficial for soothing irritated skin, reducing redness, and calming inflammatory skin conditions.
How often should I use watermelon in my skincare regime?
Generally, most skin types can tolerate watermelon skincare for daytime and nighttime. However, if you have super sensitive or reactive skin, do a small patch test to make sure you won’t have any adverse reactions.
Are there any skin types that should avoid watermelon?
All skin types can benefit from the gentle yet effective properties of watermelon. Since this juicy super fruit is mostly made of water, it's very low-risk to add it to any skincare routine for any complexion type. But as mentioned earlier, super sensitive or reactive skin types should do a small patch test to make sure your skin won’t react adversely to it.
Can I use watermelon in conjunction with other skincare ingredients?
Absolutely! Take our prized watermelon + cucumber skincare line. We paired both these hydration heroes with other superstar natural ingredients like hyaluronic and polyglutamic acids, vitamin C, plant ceramides, olive squalene, and more for the dewiest, healthiest skin.
What are the best ways to preserve watermelon for skincare use?
Store in an airtight container and away from direct light and heat. Our watermelon-infused products are properly stored and protected where they can be used in or out of the refrigerator.
We carefully hand-select products based on strict purity standards, and only recommend products we feel meet this criteria. 100% PURE™ may earn a small commission for products purchased through affiliate links.
