Pomegranate seed extract and juice have been popular lately for their anti-oxidant properties, and pomegranate seed Extract is proving to be even more beneficial. Not only does pomegranate seed Extract contain high levels of anti-oxidants that fight free radicals and skin aging, but the oil is also a potent source of punicic and ellagic acids. Because of these properties, pomegranate seed Extract is used to heal, protect, and moisturize dry, cracked, mature, and irritated skin, bring elasticity back to the skin, and for eczema and other skin problems. Scientific Support In the lab, the polyphenols found in pomegranate seed oil inhibit estrogen synthesis and have been shown to be effective against the proliferation of breast cancer cells.In a different study,pomegranate seed oil was shown to stimulate keratinocyte proliferation [3]. Increased proliferation of keratinocytes will help rejuvenate the epidermis surface layer of the skin. This layer is the outermost layer of skin that forms the waterproof, protective wrap over the body’s surface.Remarkably, punicic acid was also found to greatly reduce fat tissue weight [4].Data from animal models suggest additional possible actions of CLA, including the inhibition of cancer cells and reduction of inflammation.There is considerable evidence of the anticancer properties of pomegranate seed oil in reducing the occurrence of cancerous cells of the prostate, colon, skin, breast and white blood cells. One of the anticancer mechanisms is thought to be through inhibition of the formation of new blood vessels by cancer cells. This effectively starves the cancer cells of nourishment and oxygen needed to survive.Pomegranate Seed Oil has excellent moisturizing and nourishing properties. It is excellent for mature and aging skin, dry and cracked skin, irritated and sunburnt skin. This oil is used to treat acne, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and assists in many special facial and body treatments.Application Cosmetic: Pomegranate seed oil is commonly used in cosmetic products to revitalize dull or mature skin, assist with wrinkles, and to soothe minor skin irritations. Pomegranate seed oil adds moisture, has natural estrogenic properties, anti-oxidants, is anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, improves skin elasticity, and protects the skin. It provides relief from minor skin irritations and inflammation, including dry skin, eczema, psoriasis and sunburned skin. The conjugated fatty acids give it strong anti-inflammatory properties, which help to reduce swelling and ease muscular aches and pains. Several recent studies have shown that pomegranate seed oil stimulates keratinocyte proliferation, promoting regeneration and strengthening of the epidermis. Medicial: Pomegranate seed oil is one of the only plant sources of conjugated fatty acids and it contains an abundant amount of punicic acid, It has been called a "super CLA" whose effect is even more potent than ordinary CLA. Scientific studies have indicated that it may support the immune system, and help the body fight against human cancers, obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Pomegranate seed oil also contains phytoestrogens, similar to the estrogens naturally produced by the human body. Many women have found that using pomegranate seed oil has helped to ease symptoms associated with menopause and perimenopause, such as mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and diminished libido.
