Pomegranate oil
Pomegranate oil is a luxurious, nutrient-rich carrier oil pressed from the seeds of the pomegranate fruit. Valued in skincare for its antioxidant content and silky texture, it helps nourish and soften skin while providing a subtle, fruity aroma. It is a popular choice in premium facial oils, serums and moisturisers.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, pomegranate oil is used as an emollient and natural antioxidant ingredient. Its unique fatty acid profile, particularly punicic acid, helps reinforce the skin’s moisture barrier and supports softness and elasticity. The oil blends beautifully in facial oils, creams and hair treatments, delivering a lightweight yet deeply conditioning feel without greasiness.
