Pomegranate Seed Oil Extra Virgin

Pomegranate seed oil (extra virgin, cosmetic grade) is a rare, nutrient-dense oil cold-pressed from the seeds of the pomegranate fruit (Punica granatum). Known as a luxury oil in skincare, it’s rich in punicic acid (omega-5), antioxidants, and vitamins, making it excellent for anti-aging, skin repair, and inflammation relief.

Pomegranate Seed Oil (Extra Virgin)

• Extracted via cold-pressing dried pomegranate seeds.
• Extra virgin = first press, highest quality (no heat or chemicals).
• Highly prized in luxury facial serums, creams, and anti-aging products.

Properties

• Color: Golden yellow to amber.
• Aroma: Mild, nutty-fruity.
• Texture: Rich yet lightweight, absorbs slowly (more nourishing than greasy).

• Ellagic acid → antioxidant, protects against UV damage.
• Vitamins C & E → brightening, anti-aging, free radical protection.
• Flavonoids & polyphenols → strong antioxidant defense.
