PUNICA GRANATUM SEED OIL STEARYL ESTERS is a specialized fatty ester synthesized from the nourishing Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Seed Oil. Its primary function is to serve as an effective emollient, contributing to enhanced skin suppleness and a smoother tactile finish.

Summary

Emollient Skin Conditioning Agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates fundamentally as a skin conditioning agent. It works by forming a fine, protective barrier on the skin's outermost layer. This barrier demonstrably reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), thereby hydrating and softening the skin to improve its overall texture.
