This oil is one of two pomegranate oils which we currently stock, the other being
virgin cold-pressed pomegranate carrier oil. They are both different in that the Co2 extracted oil has a thinner/lighter viscosity than the cold pressed variant, its aroma is not quite as strong, and is more rapidly absorbed into the skin due to its lighter viscosity.
This oil is extracted in Germany from imported organic Turkish pomegranates using the supercritical CO2 extraction method. It has a yellow color and a lightly viscous consistency at room temperature. Pomegranate (Punica granatum) has been highly valued for centuries due to its medicinal properties. It is rich in rare Omega 5 essential fatty acid, which is known to have numerous benefits for the skin, including anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties.
Pomegranate is the only known botanical source of conjugated linolenic acid, also known as Punicic acid, one of the most potent antioxidants available to modern science. It also acts as a natural phytoestrogen, which helps maintain hormonal balance and skin health in both men and women.
Pomegranate CO2 extracted oil helps support the body's resilience against inflammation. Inflammation is a common problem that can be triggered by environmental toxins, stress, and poor diet. Pomegranate oil is rich in antioxidants that eliminate free radicals, which can cause cellular degradation and premature aging. It also helps support and maintain hormonal, immune, circulatory, and metabolic health.
In skincare, Pomegranate Seed CO2 Extract Oil is said to promote skin cell regeneration, boost collagen, and increase elasticity. It is also known to improve skin health and appearance by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, evening out skin tone, and helping to keep skin hydrated.
