P like Pomegranate

Pomegranate Seed Oil (Punica granatum) due to its remarkable richness in omega-5, pomegranate seed oil exhibits strong antioxidant activity. It also stimulates cellular regeneration, making it one of our most valuable anti-aging allies. Moreover, it offers slight photoprotective properties, similar to hemp seed oil—though it must be noted that it cannot replace sun protection.

Where is it found?

Today, pomegranate is cultivated mainly in North Africa and the Middle East, but it is also present in Asia and countries such as Mexico.
