This luxurious and bioactive oil, derived from the seeds of pomegranates (aka, the fruit of paradise), is pale yellow to golden yellow in color. Organic unrefined pomegranate seed oil is a highly sought-out oil for inclusion in skin and hair care products because of its high concentration of antioxidants (including Vitamin C, ellagic acid, and bioflavonoids), polyunsaturated fatty acids (primarily, conjugated punicic acid), and anti-fungal agents. The vitamin C in pomegranate seed oil works to gently slough away dead skin cells (promoting a brighter, clearer complexion) and facilitate collagen production (which helps to achieve a tighter, more supple, and youthful-looking skin). The ellagic acid component of pomegranate seed oil has been shown in studies to prevent the breakdown of collagen and attenuate UV-B induced toxicity in human skin cells. This protective effect of ellagic acid against UV rays and free radicals, which is also a benefit provided by the bioflavonoids present in pomegranate seed oil, makes this bioactive oil incredibly effective at reducing oxidative stress in skin, delaying visible signs of aging (including UV-B induced skin wrinkle formation), and improving the health and appearance of hair. The omega 5 or punicic acid in pomegranate seed oil provides a myriad of benefits such as hydrating and improving elasticity of skin and hair, protecting the skin’s collagen fibers, and calming skin and scalp ailments (such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis) because of its anti-inflammatory property. Finally, the high anti-fungal activity of pomegranate seed oil makes its useful for treating scalp conditions like dandruff.
