5 Reasons You'll Find Pomegranate Seed Oil in Our Formulas
TellurideGlow chose pomegranate seed oil as an ingredient in The Purist Delicate Skin Serum for multiple reasons.
Of course, we only use cold-pressed seeds to uphold the quality of their enzymes, nutrients, and vitamins.
- Pomegranate defends the skin against harmful elements by neutralizing the effects of free radicals. It is well known that UV rays, stress, poor diet, and pollution, cause us to be exposed to a far greater number of free radicals than ever before. The result is premature aging and damage to the skin and hair.
- Pomegranate is packed with minerals and vitamins, especially an impressive amount of vitamin C, offering regenerative, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-aging properties that promote bouncy, glowing skin. Antioxidants like vitamin A (or retinol) work to fight free radicals while fading fine lines and wrinkles.
- Pomegranate is loaded with up to 65% fatty acids! Omega-5 fatty acids are considered to be incredibly powerful antioxidants plus a wealth of other omega acids, which have a diverse set of abilities ranging from softening skin to soothing acne and clearing sebum from our pores.
- Bonus: A compound unique to pomegranate oil called punicic acid can help to improve elasticity and even skin tone while encouraging skin regeneration.
- Pomegranate has high concentrations of omega-6 fatty acids, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and palmitic acid help the skin in different ways. For example, linoleic acid promotes moisture retention, while palmitic acid works as an effective emollient.
Fatty acids may be especially helpful for those who suffer from acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
Studies have shown that pomegranate seed oil can encourage the production of keratinocytes, which help fibroblasts stimulate cell turnover.
What this means for your skin is increased barrier function, meaning a stronger epidermis to protect your skin.
Pomegranates truly are the Fruit of Life to prevent and restore damaged skin, so eat them whenever you get a chance and apply them to your skin daily via The Purist Serum.
