Minimum Shelf life:
Our organic pomegranate seed oil is a bright yellow oil with a thin consistency and a slightly fruity or nutty aroma. It’s extracted by cold pressing the washed seeds of organic pomegranate fruits. It takes over 500kg of fresh pomegranates to produce just 1kg of oil. This oil is so potent that you can use as little as 1% for effective results in skin and hair care products.
Organic pomegranate oil is rich in punicic acid (omega-5), a rare essential fatty acid with several benefits for the skin. Omega-5 is a natural antioxidant that protects the skin from premature ageing, promotes regeneration of the epidermis and stimulates collagen production to keep skin looking smooth, firm and youthful. Studies suggest that omega-5 can be used on sun-damaged skin as a repairing and rejuvenating treatment, though it should not be used as an SPF. As the only known botanical source of punicic acid, pomegranate seed oil is a cosmetic staple for any skincare or cosmetics enthusiast.
As well as omega-5, pure pomegranate oil also contains ellagic acid. This is a natural phenol antioxidant that can protect and brighten the skin. As it’s so packed with antioxidants, organic pomegranate oil is an excellent ingredient for homemade skincare products and hair treatments.

Cosmetic Functions:
According to the Cosmetic Ingredient Database (CosIng), organic pomegranate oil is a skin-conditioning emollient.
As pure pomegranate oil is so rich in skin-boosting antioxidants, it should be blended with other antioxidants like vitamin E or organic rosemary antioxidant to protect the oil from oxidation.
Adding just 2% organic pomegranate oil to a sports massage blend is very effective — even more so if you include fragonia essential oil and plai essential oil.
Combine organic pomegranate seed oil with organic pomegranate glycerol extract in creams and lotions. This will give your skincare products anti-ageing benefits.
This oil can also be used in hair products for excellent results. We love it mixed with argan oil, coconut oil and camellia seed oil for a nourishing hair and scalp treatment.
