What is PUNICA GRANATUM FRUIT EXTRACT used for?

Punica Granatum Fruit Extract is a potent antioxidant rich in polyphenols, ellagic acid, and vitamin C. It is common in personal care products aimed at enhancing the youthfulness of skin and hair.

Skin care: Punica Granatum Fruit Extract protects the skin from environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution. This helps keep wrinkles, dullness, and tiredness at bay. Moreover, the ellagic acid present in this extract inhibits melanin production, which leads to a more even skin tone and reduced hyperpigmentation. It also soothes and heals inflamed skin. Punica Granatum Fruit Extract is commonly found in anti-aging creams, brightening lotions, hydrating masks, and acne-calming toners.

Hair care: Punica Granatum Fruit Extract is less common in hair care products but can be added to herbal shampoos, scalp serums, and botanical hair oils due to its mild benefits for the scalp and hair. Primarily, it protects the scalp from stressors that cause hair aging and follicle damage. It also reduces scalp irritation and inflammation.

Origin

Punica Granatum Fruit Extract comes from the pomegranate fruit through methods that preserve most of its nutrients. After harvesting and washing, the pulp and juice of pomegranates are collected. This is then soaked or boiled in water to draw out the beneficial compounds. The final extract is filtered and concentrated.
