Pomegranate Seed Oil is an excellent anti-inflammatory carrier oil rich in phytosterols and Vitamin E, making it perfect for mature skin. It is believed to help with skin cell regeneration, boost collagen production, and enhance elasticity. Pomegranate Seed Oil contains high levels of Punicic Acid and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), which give it powerful anti-inflammatory benefits. Lotus Garden Botanicals offers two different types of Pomegranate oil: this one that is 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 the previous stock: virgin and unrefined, with 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 Ethnopharmacology 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!!
