Pomegranate Seed Oil
INCI: punica granatum seed oil
Pomegranate seed oil is defined by conjugated punicic acid — an omega-5 with stronger antioxidant power than most fatty acids — plus phytosterols that support barrier repair. Research documents UV-protective, anti-inflammatory, and collagen-supporting effects at low concentrations. Its texture is rich but absorbs reasonably well; typical use is 1–5% within serums or blended oils, rarely pure (cost and weight). It suits dry, mature, environmentally stressed skin. Combine with lighter carriers like squalane for a balanced night oil. One of the few "superfruit" oils whose distinctive fatty acid actually distinguishes it.
