Pomegranate
Pomegranate is a luxurious fruit extract celebrated in UK skincare for its rich antioxidant content and gentle nourishing properties. Bursting with polyphenols and vitamins, it helps protect skin from daily environmental stressors while delivering a healthy glow. You'll find it in everything from moisturisers and serums to lip balms and hair treatments.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare, pomegranate extract and seed oil function as potent antioxidants that help defend the skin against free radical damage from pollution and UV exposure. The oil is lightweight yet deeply nourishing, supporting the skin’s natural moisture barrier and improving softness and elasticity without greasiness. Its natural astringent qualities can also help refine the appearance of pores and even out skin tone for a brighter, more radiant complexion.
