Pomegranate oil Organic
Description
Organic Pomegranate Oil (Punica granatum) is known for its significant content of punicic acid (Omega-5), rarely found in plant lipids. It is valued for its exceptional regenerative qualities, used primarily for mature, aging skin or skin marked by sun exposure, as well as for revitalizing and protecting skin exposed to urban stress. Although it is a consistent and nourishing oil, its structure allows it to penetrate evenly into the upper layers of the skin without leaving an uncomfortable greasy film.
In daily cosmetic use, pomegranate oil functions as a protective and regenerative shield for the skin's micro-relief. It is particularly recommended for the care of mature complexions, and devitalized, dull, or damaged skin, possessing the ability to maintain the natural elasticity of the skin and lock moisture into the tissues. Due to its fineness upon application, pomegranate oil improves the overall appearance of the face, neck, and decolletage, offering a fresh look, a velvety texture, and an increased natural resilience against environmental factors.
Ellemental Organic Pomegranate Oil contains Pomegranate seed extract along with added Rosemary extract as a potent natural antioxidant, a concentrated formulation that extends its shelf life and protects active compounds sensitive to oxidation.

Usage & Synergies
Face care
Organic Pomegranate Oil is a concentrated active ingredient, not a base oil. It is typically incorporated up to 10% into anti-aging, regenerating, antioxidant, and protective serums or creams. It should not be applied pure over large areas.
Practical recommendations
- Ingredient in night serums: Incorporate into an oily serum alongside other anti-aging and anti-wrinkle vegetable oils.
- Anti-aging creams: Add as an ingredient for preparing moisturizing, protective day creams and nourishing, regenerating night creams.
- Ingredient in eye serums: Incorporate alongside Caprilis or Rice Bran Oil for a fine texture formula.
Synergies in face care
As a regenerating night serum, it combines well with Prickly Pear Oil, Avocado Oil, and Sea Buckthorn Oil for complementary active ingredients. On mature skin in need of firmness, the association with Centella Oil, Camellia Oil, and Cranberry Oil supports structure and tone.

At the body level, Pomegranate oil is a supporting active ingredient in premium anti-stretch mark formulas and anti-aging products for the body's skin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is punicic acid and why is it special?
Punicic acid (Omega-5) is a conjugated polyunsaturated fatty acid (CLnA) with a molecular geometry distinct from common fatty acids. Pomegranate is practically the only plant source with a significant concentration (>50%). Studies document its ability to stimulate keratinocyte proliferation and inhibit enzymes involved in collagen degradation, which explains its regenerating reputation.
Can I use pomegranate oil if I have combination skin?
Pomegranate oil has a low comedogenicity index. Its balanced structure allows it to be applied to combination or slightly oily skin as well.
