pomegranate extract (Punica granatum) has cleansing, astringent, tonic, and purifying properties. It also is a strong natural antioxidant with skin-protecting and anti-inflammatory properties. Its constituents include polyphenols and anthocyanidins. In addition to pomegranate extract, and depending on a formula’s requirements, cosmetic formulators can use bark extract, the fruit juice, the seed, and the seed oil.
