Maybe the beautiful maiden Persephone was onto something when she ate a few Pomegranate seeds while in the underworld. Although Persephone's story is a Greek myth, the Pomegranate's powerful antioxidant properties are nothing close to mythical. It has been long revered as a symbol of healing and longevity. Recent studies have shown that this ancient fruit has powerful antioxidant properties, beneficial in topical skin care.
Rich in Ellagic Acid, the Pomegranate promotes the regeneration of cells in the two most important layers of healthy skin, the epidermis and dermis. The fruit extracts prolong the life of cells in the dermis called fibroblasts. These cells produce the skin's essential structural fibers, including collagen and elastin. As skin is exposed to sun damage and other aging factors, the ability to heal diminishes. Pomegranate extracts help repair and restore the skin's ability to heal quickly, thus helping to reverse the signs of aging.
