Pomegranate Extract

5 gm

$9.50

The pomegranate fruit, with a great treasure of history and myth, is full of antioxidants, nutrients, and vitamins. It also contains Phytosterols, Ellagic Acid, Ursolic Acid, Polyphenols, Anthocyanidins, and more. This active is a chemopreventive, meaning it prevents cancer brought about by chemicals.

Usage

Each tube is enough for 4 fl oz of cream, lotion, or sunscreen at approximately 10% concentration (10 g in 120 mL cream). Use in your favorite cream or add to our Canvas Base Cream or a Sea Kelp Bioferment base.

It may be helpful to mix the powder with a small amount of water to make a paste before mix into your favorite cream or lotion. It can also be used as a mask, applying the paste directly to the skin.
