Pomegranates have long been believed to be both a magical and powerful fruit. In ancient societies, it played many roles. The Egyptians even buried their dead with a pomegranate. Even so, they hoped it would resurrect the dead.

In Christianity, it is sometimes said that the pomegranate, not the apple, gave Adam and Eve knowledge of the world. In fact, almost every culture has a legend associated with the pomegranate.

It symbolizes knowledge, fertility, and abundance because of its many seeds. The seeds and the peel are used to produce sweet-smelling and highly effective skincare products.

Getting organic pomegranate is essential. It ensures that human-made chemicals nor pesticides have tainted the benefits of the fruit.

High in Antioxidants

Pomegranates have one of the highest antioxidant contents available. They occur in the fruit's dark red skin and seeds.

There are three different types of polyphenols. They are anthocyanins, tannins, and ellagic acid. Most antioxidants only contain one. Pomegranates have more power than green tea.

When internalized, it calms and protects the body. When applied topically, it helps protect the skin, diminishing signs of aging, and premature aging.

Prolonged sun exposure can cause serious effects on the skin. It can affect both the surface and the underlayers. Antioxidants help to remove harmful cells and protect other cells from free radicals.

As the skin is protected, it can begin to rebuild and regenerate areas with healthy cells.

Improve Tone and Texture for Radiant Skin

The extract of the pomegranate can also improve the look of the skin's texture.

For example, you can better the look of rough, uneven complexions caused by photo-aging or a chronic skin condition by using a product that contains pomegranate.

It contains moisturizing properties and vital vitamins and minerals the skin needs to function. It also helps reduce age spots and hyperpigmentation. As we age, the faces of natural connective tissues and support systems break down.

Pomegranate has natural anti-inflammatory properties, which can help prevent and reverse the breakdown of these areas. By reducing inflammation, the face can rebuild naturally.

Pomegranate is excellent to use on the hair. As it moisturizes, it also strengthens cells, which makes the hair appear more vibrant and beautiful. And hair becomes more resilient to breakage.
