About

Tiny vesicles from pomegranate seeds, rich in antioxidants that help protect and repair skin

Punica granatum seed vesicles are isolated from pomegranate seeds and contain unique punicic acid (conjugated linolenic acid), phytosterols, and tannins. The pomegranate seed oil form has a reasonable safety record in cosmetics, but the vesicles as a specific isolated structure lack extensive documentation in EU regulatory databases. It is not listed on any EU restriction annexes. The ingredient is considered safe for cosmetic use based on the overall safety profile of pomegranate seed-derived materials.

Skin benefits

  • Punicic acid provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects
  • Phytosterols support skin barrier function
  • Tannins have mild astringent properties

Known concerns

  • Limited specific safety data for vesicles vs. seed oil
  • May contain tannins with mild astringent effects
