Benefits to the Skin
The regenerative power of pomegranate seed oil is one of the most exciting areas in today’s skin care research. A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, for instance, found that
pomegranate oil stimulates “keratinocytes,” which are the major cells found in the epidermis—the outer layer of the skin. Helping to regenerate these cells may actually help reverse past damage to revive skin and reveal a newer and more youthful appearance.
There is more to this ingredient, however. Here are the details:
Anti-inflammatory: One of the main things that ages our skin is inflammation, which can be caused by a number of things, including the sun, diet, and exposure to toxins. Pomegranate seed oil has a unique polyunsaturated acid called “punicic acid”—an omega 5 fatty acid—that has strong anti-inflammatory powers.
Antioxidant protection: Just like the pomegranate fruit is prized for its high antioxidant content, the seed oil is the also coveted for its antioxidant protection. By fending off damaging free radicals, the oil keeps skin looking young day after day. It can also provide some protection against sun exposure. So strong are these protective effects that a 2003 study published in the Journal of Medicinal Food found that pomegranate seed oil significantly decreased the incidence of skin cancer in mice exposed to cancer-causing chemicals.
Moisturization: Like most natural oils, pomegranate seed oil also hydrates skin, penetrating easily and deeply to create lasting, healthy moisture that won’t feel greasy or create shininess. It’s perfect for all types of skin, even acne-prone skin.
Soothing: Because of all its properties together, pomegranate seed oil provides soothing, hydrating relief for those with extra dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, and sunburned skin. The anti-inflammatory properties calm redness and irritation, the natural moisturizers hydrate, and the magical regeneration properties help heal wounds and restore skin health.
