About

Pomegranate seed oil esters modified with phenolic compounds for enhanced antioxidant delivery to skin.

Punica Granatum Seed Oil Hydroxyphenethyl Esters are produced by transesterifying hydroxyethyl phenol with pomegranate (Punica granatum) seed oil. The original oil is rich in punicic acid (conjugated linolenic acid), and the ester modification with a hydroxyphenethyl group adds phenolic antioxidant activity while potentially improving skin penetration. No defined CosIng function, GHS hazards, or EU restrictions. Represents a hybrid approach combining botanical oil benefits with phenolic chemistry.
