Pomegranate Seed Oil

The Latin name of the plant is punica granatum. Pomegranate seed oil has a high concentration of conjugated linolenic acids, fatty acids that contain double bonds alternating with single bonds in between. Pomegranate seed oil contains more than 70% cis 9,trans 11,cis 13-18:3 fatty acid. This kind of fatty acid composition is very rare and justifies the medicinal use of pomegranate seed oil throughout many cultures for centuries. This cold pressed oil provides moisture and nutrition to the skin.
