Pomegranate fruit, after having originated in Iran has now been widely spread to Asia, Europe Middle East and the U.S. This fruit has tiny gems enclosed within a thick covering and is rich in flavonoids and antioxidants. The oil and extracts derived from its seeds is a common ingredient in beauty and cosmetic products. Collagen is the basic component of your skin which ensures that your skin remains soft, smooth and firm. Certain compounds present in pomegranates stop the enzymes from breaking down collagen, thus maintaining skin health. Being rich in punicic acid, the oil and extract derived from these seeds will moisturize your skin. Pomegranates are beneficial in this regard as they protect the epidermis, and facilitate skin cell regeneration in the epidermis and dermis. Pomegranate, being a rich source of vitamin C, can regulate the production of sebum, an oily substance secreted by your skin which is the root cause of pimples. They contain a number of antioxidants that protect your skin against free radical damage. Pomegranate extracts are comparable to any ointment in soothing skin inflammation.
