What it does

Pomegranate extract is rich in ellagic acid, punicalagins, and anthocyanins — among the most potent antioxidants in the plant kingdom. Research shows it protects skin from UV-induced damage, inhibits melanin production (brightening), and stimulates collagen synthesis. Pomegranate seed oil (from the seeds) is also rich in punicic acid, an unusual omega-5 fatty acid.

Benefits
  • Powerful antioxidant — neutralises UV-induced free radicals
  • Brightens skin tone by inhibiting melanin transfer
  • Supports collagen synthesis
