About
Dried pomegranate peel — one of the strongest natural sources of punicalagin antioxidants. Food-grade safety and excellent antioxidant credentials.
Punica granatum peel powder is the dried and milled pericarp of the pomegranate fruit. It is among the richest known natural sources of hydrolyzable tannins, particularly punicalagins and ellagitannins, along with ellagic acid — all potent antioxidants with extensive in-vitro and in-vivo research. In cosmetics it provides antioxidant, astringent, and anti-aging support. Pomegranate has strong food-grade and nutraceutical safety data with EFSA and FDA precedent. No GHS hazards at cosmetic concentrations. Tannin content can cause mild astringency or formulation color; rare allergy reports exist.
