Glow Recipe's Watermelon Products
The first powerhouse fruit to enter the brand’s hall of fame, watermelon is more than just a picnic-primed summer snack – it’s a skincare delight summoned from nature’s riches. Composed of 92% water, it floods the skin with deep, dewy hydration, cools irritation and acts as an anti-inflammatory – helping to reduce redness and deflect the effects of free radicals on the skin. That's not all; jam-packed with protective vitamins A & C, this tropical fruit fuels cell renewal and veils the complexion in fresh-faced radiance.
As co-founder, Christine Chang tells us, growing up in the languid heat of Korea, “our grandmothers would slice slabs of watermelon rind in the summer and rub it on skin to instantly soothe irritation and heat rash. We wanted to harness the benefits of this super fruit – watermelon is packed with antioxidants and vitamins to instantly hydrate.”

Dew Shield goes beyond UV protection, it deeply hydrates and soothes skin, while also helping to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots over time,” Chang says.
