INCI names: PUNICA GRANATUM FRUIT EXTRACT | PUNICA GRANATUM SEED OIL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Origin<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are numerous cultivated and some ornamental forms of Punica Granatum. Originally native to Persia, the pomegranate, also known as grenadine, is a member of the loosestrife family (Lythraceae). Today’s range includes the Mediterranean region, the Near East, South Africa, southern Asia, China, Australia, the southwestern USA and South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Punica granatum is a tree that grows up to 15 meters high and can live for several hundred years. That is another reason why it is considered a symbol of fertility and longevity. Punica granatum prefers hot and dry climate and has low demands on soil quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Active ingredients<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tannins:
Fruit peels, stem bark and leaves contain ellagitannins, the composition of which varies somewhat depending on the plant part. The fruit peels contain 25 – 28 % tannins with punicalin and punicalagin as the main components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alkaloids:
Punica granatum contains piperidine alkaloids in almost all parts of the plant, with higher levels in wild pomegranate trees than in cultivated forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phenols:
The fruit peels, leaves and flowers contain ellagic acid, which is accompanied by gallic acid in fruit peels and flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terpenes, steroids:
All parts of the plant contain abundant triterpenes as well as small amounts of sterols. Thus sitosterol, stigmasterol, ursolic and betulinic acid are found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fatty acids:
Among the fatty acids, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid and especially punicic acid are worth mentioning. This polyunsaturated conjugated fatty acid with 3 double bonds belongs to the omega-5 fatty acids and has exceptionally high antioxidant properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
