Pomegranate seed oil is unique because of its primary fatty acid (60%) the rare punicic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, believed to have powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The oil also consists of a small amount of linoleic acid/omega-6 (2-10%) and oleic acid/omega-9 (3-12%). Pomegranate seed oil has great emollient properties on the skin, and can contribute to regenerating the top layer of the skin, which helps to protect the lower layers against external factors, and maintain the skin’s moisture level.
