Watermelon contains vitamin A, which is important for skin and eye health, according to the Mayo Clinic Health System. It's also made up of 92 percent water, which shows the immense amount of hydration it provides. These two facts alone show the value watermelon extract can bring -- and beauty product developers have taken note for items that can be used all year round.

For the co-founder and co-CEO of Korean skincare brand Glow Recipe, Sarah Lee said she saw watermelon as a beneficial ingredient in their products and a fruit that connected back to her childhood.

\"In Korea, our grandmothers used to rub watermelon rind on our skin in the summer to calm heat rash and irritation - and it would work like magic,\" Lee said. \"We were inspired by this childhood experience and wanted to harness the power of this incredible superfruit in an overnight treatment.\"
