POMEGRANATE FRUIT PEEL EXTRACT OCTENYLSUCCINATE

Description

Pomegranate Fruit Peel Extract Octenylsuccinate is an innovative skincare ingredient derived from the peel of the pomegranate fruit (Punica granatum). This modified extract combines the natural benefits of pomegranate with enhanced stability and skin compatibility through octenylsuccinic anhydride esterification.

Rich in polyphenols, particularly ellagic acid and punicalagin, this ingredient offers potent antioxidant properties that help protect the skin from free radical damage and environmental stressors. The octenylsuccinate modification improves the extract's solubility and penetration into the skin, enhancing its efficacy.

Studies have shown that Pomegranate Fruit Peel Extract Octenylsuccinate can stimulate collagen production, promoting skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

This ingredient has demonstrated potential in improving skin hydration, evening out skin tone, and enhancing overall skin texture. Its photoprotective properties may contribute to protection against UV-induced skin damage when used in conjunction with sunscreens.

Pomegranate Fruit Peel Extract Octenylsuccinate is typically well-tolerated and can be incorporated into various skincare formulations, including serums, creams, and facial masks.
