Pomegranate Oil Refined

The pomegranate is native in regions ranging from Iran through to the Himalayas in northern India. It was cultivated and naturalized over the Mediterranean region since ancient times. The pomegranate plant is a neat, rounded shrub or small tree that can grow to typically to 12 to 16 feet in height. Dwarf varieties are also known. It is usually deciduous, but in certain areas the leaves will persist on the tree. The trunk is covered by a red-brown bark, which later becomes gray. The branches are stiff, angular and often spiny. Pomegranate Carrier Oil is the result of the dried seeds, which are extracted and purified with supercritical carbon dioxide (liquid carbon dioxide). Pomegranate Seed Carrier Oil is suitable for applications in both soap and skin care. It is often viewed as a face oil in that it moisturizes and nourishes dry skin. It also balances pH and after application the skin usually feels soft and smooth. Pomegranate seed oil is a nutrient-rich oil extracted from the seeds of pomegranates and is widely used in skincare, haircare, and dietary supplements due to its powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and regenerative properties. Here’s an overview of its uses:

Skincare Uses:

1. Anti-aging: Rich in punicic acid and antioxidants like vitamin C, it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

2. Skin regeneration: Promotes cell turnover and healing, making it ideal for scar and stretch mark treatments.

3. Hydration: Deeply moisturizes the skin without clogging pores, suitable for dry or mature skin types.

4. Anti-inflammatory: Calms redness, eczema, and psoriasis due to its soothing properties.

5. UV protection: Offers some protection against sun damage (though not a replacement for sunscreen).

Haircare Uses:

1. Scalp health: Improves circulation and soothes irritated or dry scalps.

2. Strengthens hair: Nourishes hair follicles and can help reduce hair loss.

3. Adds shine: Makes hair appear glossier and more manageable when used as a pre-shampoo treatment or in leave-in products.
