PUNICA GRANATUM SEED EXTRACT.

Derived from pomegranate seeds, this oil-soluble extract is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. It provides comprehensive skin conditioning, contributing to enhanced hydration, reduced signs of aging, and overall skin health.

Summary

Antioxidant Emollient Skin-conditioning Anti-inflammatory Moisturizer

Science

Mechanism of Action

Punica Granatum Seed Extract, primarily due to its oil-soluble components, functions as a powerful antioxidant, actively neutralizing free radicals to protect skin from environmental damage and premature aging. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritated and acne-prone skin, potentially mitigating conditions like eczema and psoriasis. The extract further supports skin integrity by promoting collagen synthesis, which improves elasticity and reduces the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, while also enhancing hydration and supporting epidermal regeneration.
