The antioxidants found in pomegranate extract combined with phytonutrients, minerals, fatty acids and vitamins work in synergy to plump the skin and promote collagen production. Collagen is the main structural protein found in the skin and connective tissues and it is absolutely vital for a bouncy, youthful appearance. It contains punicic acid, an omega 5 fatty acid that hydrates and prevents moisture loss. Beneficial in skin care products for acne prone skin, to combat breakouts, reduce scarring and sooth minor irritations.
