Description
Pomegranate is rich in vitamins A, B and C, as well as in potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium and sodium.
Regulating activity of sebaceous secretion
The entire pomegranate plant contains tannins and other substances that make it antibacterial, antiviral and astringent. The pericarp of its fruit contains tannins and gallic and ellagic acid, among other substances, which provide interesting properties for cosmetic products with an astringent action and regulators of sebaceous secretion.
Topically, tannins waterproof the outermost layers of skin and mucous membranes, protecting the underlying layers. They also have a vasoconstrictive effect on small superficial vessels. By limiting the loss of fluids and preventing external aggressions, tannins promote the regeneration of tissues (healing action) in cases of superficial wounds or burns (Bruneton, J., 2001).
Therefore, Pomegranate is very useful for cosmetic products with an astringent and regulatory activity of sebum on skin and hair.
Antioxidant activity
Vitamin C is very important for skin, as it helps maintain the integrity of the structure of collagen in the dermis, preventing and reducing aging symptoms
The presence of vitamin E also increases the antioxidant activity of pomegranate for two reasons:
Antioxidant activity: reduction in the formation of lipoperoxides on skin. The oxidation of the highly unsaturated phospolipids in the cellular membrane generates lipoperoxides that destabilize it and cause skin aging.
Radical scavenging activity: it protects cells against free radicals released by lipoperoxides, which are involved in skin aging.
Anti-inflammatory activity
Anti-inflammatory activity is partly due to the content in vitamin E.
