Pomegranate Oil
CO2 extracted, Punica granatum seed extract, Certified
Organic
(We are currently offering our Pomegranate Seed Oil in a 1/2
ounce cobalt glass bottle, with an 'eye dropper' top, so you may
dole it out by the drop.)
A wonderful CO2 extracted
light oil... quickly absorbed into the skin, leaving behind a very
faint aroma reminiscent of melted baking chocolate. The producer
recommends using it either undiluted by the drop, or using at up to
10% in a blend of other oils.
The producer also strongly urges that we try using the
Pomegranate Seed Extract blended with
Seabuckthorn
Berry Extract, that the two compliment each other and have a
truly synergetic effect in skincare blends.
The benefits of this delightful oil are limitless - it is beneficial
to nearly all skintypes; research is showing it to be helpful in
fighting both skin and breast cancer in laboratory tests. (search
Pubmed for abstracts.) Pomegranate Oil has an extended
shelf life because of its high level of anti-oxidants. It has also
been shown to work as an anti-inflammatory agent, relieving muscular
aches and pains as well as reducing swelling.
What makes Pomegranate Seed Oil so beneficial? First, it is
high in antioxidants (such as polyphenol) which fight free radicals
and promote skin regeneration.
It is also high in lipids,
including the rare Pucinic Acid, which help heal inflammation and
reduce swelling.
It has been found to nourish and moisturize the skin, improving
elasticity, reducing wrinkles and preventing aging. It has
also been shown to help sunburned and ultraviolet damaged skin.
Evidence suggests that its calming and healing properties may aid
treatment of numerous skin problems, including dry, irritated
sensitive skin, and perhaps even eczema and psoriasis.
Is there any wonder that high end cosmetic and skincare product
designers are including Pomegranate Oil in their anti-aging creams
and lotions?
Personal note: I have a lot of contact allergies...I'll wear a ring,
and by evening the back of that finger will be all red and
itchy...I'll wear a bracelet, and the inside of my wrist will break
out in itches. I brought home the first sample we received of this
wonderful pomegranate oil, and put just a drop on the itchies.
Within minutes the itching stopped. By morning, the irritation and
bumps and scratches were gone. This is amazing to me!
Please note: we tried several sample of cold pressed Pomegranate
Seed oil, and, in all honesty, could not bear the thought of using
them on our skin. Tests on the back of our hands left a sticky,
strongly scented residue that none of us were comfortable using, let
alone making available to you. Finally we sampled this wonderful CO2 extracted
light oil... quickly absorbed into the skin, leaving behind a very
faint aroma reminiscent of melted baking chocolate.
