Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Cantaloupe (Cucumis melo) has been used traditionally in some cultures as a food believed to support overall health, including skin health, largely due to its high water content and its richness in vitamins such as vitamin C and beta-carotene. Historically, fruits high in antioxidants and water have been associated with maintaining healthy skin, primarily by promoting hydration and providing nutrients necessary for skin repair and maintenance. However, while cantaloupe is indeed a good source of vitamin C, which is essential for collagen synthesis and may help protect the skin from oxidative stress, there is limited direct scientific evidence linking cantaloupe consumption specifically to improved skin health or the treatment of skin conditions. Most of the support for cantaloupe in skin care comes from its nutritional profile and the general benefits of these nutrients, rather than from controlled clinical studies. Therefore, the use of cantaloupe for skin care is primarily grounded in traditional health beliefs and general nutrition science, not strong clinical evidence.
