Anti-Aging Benefits
Based on its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizing properties, you may have guessed by now that pomegranate is a viable anti-aging ingredient. Antioxidants like vitamin A (or retinol) and vitamin C (or ascorbic acid) work to fight free radicals while fading fine lines and wrinkles. However, there’s even more to this skin-preserving powerhouse. A compound unique to pomegranate called punicic acid can help to improve elasticity and even skin tone while encouraging skin regeneration.
Anti-Inflammation, Pro-Hydration
As an anti-inflammatory, pomegranate has demonstrated an affinity for reducing redness or dry, flaky skin, especially thanks to the high concentration of omega-6 fatty acids oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid. With its unique molecular structure, pomegranate is able to deeply penetrate the skin to deliver intense hydration. Having such a wide variety is especially useful for the skin because these fatty acids help the skin in different sets of ways. For example, linoleic acid promotes moisture retention, while palmitic acid works as an effective emollient.
Fades Scars and Brightens Skin
Whether your skin is a bit drier or rougher to the touch than usual, or if you have scarring or hyperpigmentation, pomegranate may offer salvation. Studies have shown that pomegranate can encourage the production of keratinocytes, which help fibroblasts stimulate cell turnover. What this means for your skin is increased barrier function to defend against the effects of UV damage. Additionally, the naturally high reserves of vitamin C, punicic acid, and phytosterols help stimulate collagen production and cell regeneration to reveal softer, smoother skin.
Firmer, Bouncier Skin
As we age, depleting collagen levels cause our skin to lose its firmness. Collagen is the key building block in our skin, providing both structure and elasticity – but our bodies’ natural reserves are limited. Luckily, we can use pomegranate to slow the aging process, while improving overall firmness and elasticity. This is thanks to its supply of vitamin C, punicic and linoleic acids, while a spectrum of other antioxidants works to improve circulation and brighten the skin.
