About
Pomegranate seed supercritical CO₂ extract (Punica granatum) delivers exceptional concentrations of punicic acid—a rare omega-5 conjugated fatty acid unique to pomegranate and several related species. This pale yellow oil presents a light fruity aroma with subtle piquant notes.
Functional Properties
Punicic acid (9Z,11E,13Z-octadecatrienoic acid) dominates the fatty acid profile at >50%, defining the extract's distinctive bioactivity profile. The conjugated structure provides enhanced penetration and bioavailability compared to conventional polyunsaturated oils. Squalene content (>1.0%) adds additional emollient properties. Documented anti-inflammatory, regenerating, and collagen-stimulating properties of punicic acid support advanced skincare applications.
Quality
Standardized to >50% punicic acid by GC-FID. Supercritical extraction preserves conjugated fatty acid integrity. Low peroxide value and free fatty acid content indicate premium processing.
