Description and Key Features

Our Pomegranate Oil Extract is a rich, concentrated oil meticulously extracted to preserve the full spectrum of beneficial compounds found in the pomegranate. This includes a unique fatty acid profile, with a high concentration of punicic acid (omega-5 fatty acid), as well as powerful antioxidants like polyphenols and vitamin E. Its fat solubility makes it an ideal addition to oil-based serums, balms, creams, and other anhydrous or emulsion formulations. The extract's natural color, from warm amber to deeper brown, contributes to the rich aesthetic of your final product. As a natural, plant-derived ingredient, it aligns perfectly with the growing demand for clean and effective beauty solutions. Its versatility extends beyond cosmetics, finding applications in food supplements, aromatherapy, and even medical fields, underscoring its broad spectrum of benefits.

Cosmetic Recipe: "Ageless Glow" Antioxidant Facial Oil

Create a luxurious, antioxidant-rich facial oil designed to nourish, protect, and revitalize mature or dry skin, perfectly highlighting the benefits of Pomegranate Oil Extract.

Instructions for Preparation:

1. Sanitization: Thoroughly sanitize all your equipment (glass beakers, stirring rods, amber glass dropper bottles) using isopropyl alcohol. Allow everything to air dry completely.
2. Combine Carrier Oils: In a clean, dark glass beaker, measure out the Jojoba Oil, Argan Oil, and Rosehip Oil. Stir gently to combine.
3. Add Pomegranate Oil Extract & Vitamin E: Add the Pomegranate Oil Extract and Vitamin E (Tocopherol) to the blended carrier oils. Ensure the temperature of the oil blend is below 40°C before adding the Pomegranate Oil Extract. Stir well until evenly dispersed.
4. Add Essential Oils (Optional): If using, add the Frankincense and Geranium essential oils drop by drop. Stir gently to incorporate.
5. Final Transfer: Carefully pour the finished facial oil into clean, sterile amber glass dropper bottles. Amber glass helps protect the delicate oils from light degradation.
6. Labeling: Apply a label to your bottle with the product name, ingredients, and preparation date.

Recommendations for Application and Use:

• Optimal Dosing: The recommended 0.05-5% inclusion of Pomegranate Oil Extract allows for significant benefit. For facial oils, 3-5% is a good starting point for a potent serum.
• Temperature Control: Always adhere to the strict temperature guideline: DO NOT HEAT ABOVE 40°C. This is crucial to preserve the integrity of the active compounds in the Pomegranate Oil Extract. Add it to the cool-down phase if you are formulating a heated product.
• Storage: Store the finished facial oil in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat, to maximize its shelf life and maintain the potency of the antioxidants. The amber bottle provides additional protection.
• Application: After cleansing and toning, dispense 2-4 drops of the facial oil into your palms. Gently warm the oil between your hands and press onto your face and neck, massaging in upward motions until absorbed. Use morning and/or night.
• Layering: This oil can be used as the last step in your skincare routine, after water-based serums and moisturizers, to seal in hydration and provide a protective layer.
• Patch Test: Before incorporating into your full routine, perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area of skin to check for any sensitivities.
