Starting early to care for your skin can prevent premature aging. Since the skin is the body'soutermost organ, The skin protects interior organs from pollution, UV radiation, and diseasecausing microbes. Research is needed to confirm and maximize topical plant treatment and skin
health medication benefits. This study employs an experimental approach, testing the effects of a
moisturizing cream formulated with either watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) extract or a control group
of saccharide isomerates on the skin of 25 rats (Rattus norvegicus). The research results show
watermelon extract can be used as a medicine since it contains antioxidants and moisturizes the
skin. A higher dose of watermelon extract and saccharide isomerate includes more chemical
components that hydrate skin. 30% watermelon extract cream with 5% saccharide isomerate
improved dry skin more after UVB exposure.
