Description

Pomegranate Seed Oil by GfN Selco is obtained by supercritical extraction using natural pure carbon dioxide. The oil is 100% pure and natural, obtained from crushed seeds of Punica granatum.

Pomegranate Seed Oil is one of the few plant sources of conjugated fatty acids and it contains an abundant amount of punicic acid, a compound closely related to conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). The punicic acid found in pomegranate seed oil has been called a „super CLA“ whose efficacy is even more potent than that of ordinary CLA. Scientific studies have indicated that it may support the immune system and help the body fight against human cancers, obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

Pomegranate Seed Oil also contains phytoestrogens, similar to the estrogens naturally produced by the human body. Many women have found that using pomegranate seed oil has helped to ease symptoms associated with menopause and perimenopause, such as mood swings, hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and diminished libido.

To relieve the symptoms of menopause, Pomegranate Seed Oil can be used topically as a skin moisturizer, orally as a dietary supplement, as a massage oil or as an intimate lubricant.

Efficacy

Pomegranate Seed Oil is commonly used in cosmetic products to revitalize dull or mature skin, smooth wrinkles, and to soothe minor skin irritations. Without moisture wrinkles become more abundant and pronounced, the skin looks tight and lacks luster. Pomegranate Seed Oil adds moisture, has natural estrogenic properties, anti-oxidants, is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, improves skin elasticity and protects the skin. It provides relief from minor skin irritations and inflammation, including dry skin, eczema, psoriasis and sunburned skin. The conjugated fatty acids give the oil strong anti-inflammatory efficacy, which helps to reduce swelling and eases muscular aches and pains.

Several recent studies, including one conducted by the University of Michigan Medical School (published in the February 2006 Journal of Ethnopharmacology), have shown that Pomegranate Seed Oil stimulates keratinocyte proliferation, promoting regeneration and strengthening of the epidermis. 

Application

Pomegranate Seed Oil can be used within most skin care formulations, including soaps, massage oils, facial care products, and other body care and cosmetic products.

Only a small amount is needed within formulations to achieve beneficial results. Pomegranate Seed Oil, extracted by our CO2 process results in an oil which has a very smooth texture. After application it does not leave a “sticky” feel on the skin like conventional cold pressed pomegranate seed oils.
