Functions
Antioxidant
Fights free radicals — the unstable molecules from UV, pollution, and stress that break down collagen and cause premature aging.
Astringent
Tightens and contracts skin tissue, temporarily shrinking pores and reducing oiliness. That "clean, tight" feeling after toner.
Skin Conditioning
A catch-all term for ingredients that improve how skin looks and feels — softer, smoother, more supple. The workhorse behind most moisturizers.
Controls excess oil
Locks in moisture
Minimizes pores
Neutralizes free radicals
Traditional Use
Pomegranate peel has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurveda as a powerful astringent for treating diarrhea, wounds, and skin conditions.
