Powerful antioxidants, namely anthocyanins, ellagic acid, and punicalagin, work together to prevent and treat signs of aging by fighting free radicals that age the skin. Free radicals come in many forms from smoking, poor diet, and even pollution. These antioxidants also increase circulation to renew and repair cells. Important compounds in pomegranate peels also help boost collagen production. Collagen is a structural protein that is essential for keeping skin firm, plump, and youthful.

The compounds in pomegranate peel are beneficial for keeping your skin looking youthful because they penetrate deep into the dermis and provide deep hydration. Pomegranate peel is rich in omega-5 fatty acids, which help retain moisture and keep out dirt and bacteria. It adapts to a variety of skin types and can help soothe dry, cracked skin. Punic acid and omega-5 fatty acids instantly hydrate the skin, locking in moisture and preventing it from escaping.

Vitamin C, known as the “beauty vitamin” due to its incredible antioxidant activity and found in pomegranate peel, provides its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Vitamin C also promotes collagen and elastin formation and reduces dark spots, helping to visibly brighten the complexion for firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

Pomegranate peel stops inflammation, treats inflammatory conditions such as acne, helping to soothe irritated skin.
