Pomegranate Seed Oil is an excellent anti-inflammatory carrier oil that's rich in phytosterols and Vitamin E, making it ideal for mature skin. It's believed to aid in skin cell regeneration, enhance collagen production, and improve elasticity. Pomegranate Seed Oil is high in Punicic Acid and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), which give it strong anti-inflammatory properties. Lotus Garden Botanicals offers two different types of Pomegranate oil: cold-pressed and
Pomegranate Seed Co2. A few years ago, we had Pomegranate Seed oil with a strong aroma. Everyone loved it but we were unable to re-source it and sourced a less aromatic replacement. However, this new stock is similar to that previous stock: virgin, unrefined, and has a fresh, sweet, fruity pomegranate scent. If you've been using our previous stock, we recommend trying a sample of this new batch first since it's more aromatic.
A
study published in the Journal of Ethopharmacology found that "
Pomegranate seed oil was shown to stimulate keratinocyte proliferation". Keratinocytes are cells located in the epidermis (outer layer of skin). This study indicates Pomegranate Seed Oil
promotes regeneration of the epidermis that can in turn help reverse signs of damage and give skin a more youthful appearance. Pomegranate Seed is clearly an exciting and interesting oil to use with a mature skin care regime and in anti-aging formulations!!
