Mediterranean Pomegranate Extract
Mediterranean Pomegranate Extract is a naturally derived antioxidant powerhouse commonly used in British skincare and haircare. Sourced from the fruit grown in the Mediterranean region, it delivers a rich source of polyphenols and ellagic acid that help protect and brighten the skin. Gentle enough for daily use, it is a favourite in clean-beauty formulas for its ability to support a radiant, even complexion.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, Mediterranean Pomegranate Extract functions as a potent antioxidant and skin-conditioning agent. Its high polyphenol content helps neutralise free radicals generated by urban pollution and UV exposure, while supporting the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Formulators value it for improving product stability and delivering a smooth, non-irritating feel in serums, creams and hair treatments.
