Therapeutic & Skincare
Pomegranate Seed Oil is a light, emollient oil with skin moisturising properties that spread easily on the skin without leaving a greasy residue. It acts as a humectant, helping to retain moisture in the skin and providing vibrancy and nourishment to dry, parched and lacklustre skin. Also rich in Vitamin E, Pomegranate Oil protects the skin cells from oxidative damages through its excellent antioxidant properties, thereby giving the skin a young and beautiful appearance.
Pomegranate Seed Oil comes packed with vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids, which also contribute to its anti-aging capacities.
