Unlock the age-defying secrets of nature with our Pomegranate Oil Extract, a premium, naturally derived active ingredient hailing from France.

Description and Key Features

Our Pomegranate Oil Extract (INCI: Punica granatum L. Oil Extract) is a testament to the potent power of botanical ingredients. Sourced from the finest natural plant raw materials, this extract captures the concentrated goodness of the pomegranate, a fruit celebrated for centuries for its health and beauty benefits.

The unique composition of this oil extract includes:

• Punicic Acid: A rare omega-5 fatty acid, known for its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
• Ellagic Acid: A powerful antioxidant that helps protect skin from environmental damage and supports collagen production.
• Phytoestrogens: Plant-based compounds that can help improve skin elasticity and hydration, particularly beneficial for mature skin.
• Vitamins and Minerals: A rich profile of essential nutrients that nourish and revitalize the skin.

This oily liquid should be incorporated into the active phase of your formulations at a recommended usage rate of 0.05-5%, and crucially, it must not be heated above 40°C to preserve its delicate active compounds. Its natural color, ranging from amber to brown, may impart a subtle hue to your finished products, adding to their natural appeal.

Versatile Applications and Usage Areas in Cosmetics

The exceptional properties of Pomegranate Oil Extract make it a highly sought-after ingredient across a broad spectrum of cosmetic applications, delivering anti-aging, regenerative, and protective benefits:

• Anti-Aging and Regenerative Skincare:
  • Face Serums and Night Creams: Its potent antioxidant and regenerative properties make it ideal for formulations targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity. It helps to stimulate cell regeneration and improve skin firmness.
  • Eye Creams: The delicate skin around the eyes greatly benefits from its nourishing and protective qualities, helping to reduce the appearance of crow's feet and puffiness.
  • Anti-Pollution Treatments: Its strong antioxidant profile offers excellent protection against environmental aggressors, making it perfect for daily defense creams and serums.
• Nourishing and Hydrating Products:
  • Facial Oils and Balms: As a fat-soluble ingredient, it blends seamlessly into rich facial oils, providing deep nourishment, improving skin barrier function, and enhancing overall hydration.
  • Lip Balms and Treatments: Its emollient properties and ability to support skin regeneration make it excellent for soothing dry, chapped lips and promoting a plumper appearance.
  • Body Lotions and Butters: Incorporate it into body care products for overall skin health, improving elasticity and providing antioxidant benefits from head to toe.
• Sun Care and After-Sun Products:
  • After-Sun Lotions: Its soothing and reparative qualities can help calm sun-exposed skin and assist in its recovery.
  • Formulations for Mature Skin: Due to its phytoestrogen content, it's particularly beneficial for mature skin, helping to address concerns related to hormonal aging, such as dryness and thinning skin.
• Hair Care (for scalp health):
  • Scalp Serums and Oil Treatments: While primarily a skincare ingredient, its antioxidant and nourishing properties can benefit the scalp, promoting a healthy environment for hair growth and soothing irritation.
• Other Applications:
  • Beyond cosmetics, Pomegranate Oil Extract finds application in nutraceuticals (dietary supplements) and pharmaceuticals due to its well-documented health benefits, including cardiovascular support and anti-inflammatory action. In aromatherapy, while not an essential oil, it can be used as a beneficial carrier oil in blends.

Important Application Note: Due to its sensitivity to heat, always add Pomegranate Oil Extract to the active phase of your formulation, ensuring the temperature does not exceed 40°C. This typically means incorporating it during the cool-down phase of emulsions or into cold-process formulations.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Youth Elixir" Anti-Aging Facial Oil

Craft a luxurious, nourishing facial oil designed to combat signs of aging and promote a radiant complexion, enriched with Pomegranate Oil Extract.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (glass beakers, stirring rods, droppers, and the final glass bottle) using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Combine Carrier Oils: In a clean glass beaker, measure and combine the Jojoba Oil, Rosehip Oil, and Argan Oil. Gently stir to mix.
3. Add Actives (Cold Process): Add the Pomegranate Oil Extract, Vitamin E, Coenzyme Q10, and Bisabolol to the carrier oil blend.
4. Add Essential Oils (Optional): If using, add the Frankincense and Geranium essential oils to the mixture.
5. Gentle Mixing: Stir the entire mixture very gently for several minutes to ensure all the active ingredients are fully and evenly dispersed within the oil blend. Avoid vigorous stirring, as this can introduce air.
6. Transfer to Bottle: Carefully pour the finished facial oil into a dark glass dropper bottle. The dark glass helps protect the oil from light degradation, preserving its efficacy.
7. Seal and Label: Securely close the dropper cap and label your bottle with the product name, ingredients, and date of manufacture.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Optimal Inclusion Rate: Stick to the recommended usage rate of 0.05-5% for Pomegranate Oil Extract. For a potent facial oil, 3% is an excellent starting point.
• No Heat Rule: Strictly adhere to the rule of not heating Pomegranate Oil Extract above 40°C. Always add it to the cool-down phase of emulsions or blend it into cold-process formulations like this facial oil.
• Storage: Store the finished facial oil in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. The natural antioxidants in the oil, along with added Vitamin E, will help extend its shelf life, but using a dark glass bottle is crucial for protection.
• Usage: Apply 2-4 drops of the "Youth Elixir" to clean skin morning and night, gently massaging it into your face and neck. It can be used alone or layered under a moisturizer.
• Natural Color: Be aware that the natural amber to brown color of the Pomegranate Oil Extract may slightly tint your final product. This is normal and a sign of its natural origin.
• Sensitive Skin: While generally well-tolerated, always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before full application, especially if you have very sensitive skin.
