Cold-pressed from pomegranate seeds — one of the rarest and most bioactive plant oils available. Rich in punicic acid (65–80%), a unique conjugated linolenic acid found almost nowhere else in nature, with documented skin regeneration, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumour promoting activity.
Pomegranate Seed Oil (Punica granatum) is extracted from the seeds of the pomegranate fruit — a by-product of pomegranate juice production. It contains the highest concentration of punicic acid (65–80%) of any known plant oil — a conjugated linolenic acid (CLnA, also called trichosanic acid) that is biochemically distinct from common fatty acids and has attracted significant research interest for skin regeneration, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic activity.
SV Botanica sources pomegranate seed oil from India's pomegranate production belt in Rajasthan and Maharashtra — India is one of the world's top pomegranate producers. Both CO2-extracted (highest bioactive content) and cold-pressed grades are available. Punicic acid content is tested and certified per lot.
Punicic acid (CLnA) has documented keratinocyte proliferation activity — supports skin regeneration, wound healing, and scar reduction at cellular level.
One of the most clinically researched oils for anti-ageing — supports collagen production, cell turnover, and photoprotection.
Conjugated fatty acid structure inhibits multiple inflammatory pathways — effective for inflammatory skin condition formulations.
Pomegranate seed's unique fatty acid and phytosterol profile provides significant antioxidant protection against UV and environmental skin damage.
Pomegranate seed oil's value comes almost entirely from punicic acid — a conjugated fatty acid found in almost no other commercial plant:
| Punicic Acid (CLnA) | 65–80% — conjugated Omega-5; unique bioactive |
| Oleic Acid (C18:1) | 4–8% — minor emollient |
| Linoleic Acid (C18:2) | 3–7% — minor skin barrier |
| Palmitic (C16:0) | 3–5% — minor saturated FA |
| Stearic (C18:0) | 2–4% — minor saturated FA |
| Tocopherols | ~300 mg/kg — antioxidant |
| Phytosterols | Beta-sitosterol, campesterol — anti-inflammatory |
Pomegranate seed oil is in a unique category — punicic acid is found in almost no other commercial oil:
| Oil | Punicic Acid | Skin Feel | Best Known For |
| Pomegranate Seed ★ | 65–80% punicic | Light, fast | Unique CLnA — skin regeneration |
| Sea Buckthorn Fruit | Palmitoleic Ω7 | Rich, slow | Omega-7 regenerative |
| Rosehip Seed | Linoleic 35–55% | Dry, light | Retinoids, anti-ageing |
| Evening Primrose | GLA 8–12% | Medium | Hormonal, eczema |
| Borage Oil | GLA 20–25% | Light-medium | Highest GLA source |
Pomegranate seed oil is a premium active ingredient — typically used at 1–10% in formulations due to cost and potency. CO2 grade provides maximum punicic acid and actives. Pairs exceptionally well with pomegranate seed oil for synergistic anti-ageing activity. Always add Vitamin E (0.2%) as antioxidant. Deep red colour in CO2 grade will colour formulations.
Pomegranate seed oil is dominated by punicic acid — a conjugated linolenic acid found almost nowhere else in the plant kingdom:
Key bioactive compounds beyond the fatty acids:
| Punicic Acid (CLnA) | 65–80% — unique conjugated fatty acid; primary bioactive |
| Tocopherols | ~300 mg/kg — antioxidant |
| Phytosterols | Beta-sitosterol — anti-inflammatory, skin barrier |
| Urolithin Precursors | Ellagitannin-related compounds — antioxidant |

Pomegranate seed oil is a premium active — price per kg is significantly higher than common carriers. Use at 1–10% alongside a stable base oil (argan, jojoba). CO2 grade provides maximum punicic acid and bioactives but will deeply colour formulations red — account for this. Refrigerate after opening.
Pomegranate Seed Oil is supplied in amber glass or HDPE packaging with nitrogen flush to protect against oxidation.
10ml–100ml amber glass vials for evaluation and stability testing.
Amber HDPE or dark glass containers with tamper-evident caps.
Food/cosmetic grade HDPE drums with tamper-evident seals. Standard commercial pack.
Intermediate bulk containers for large commercial orders.
Store in cool (below 20°C), dark conditions away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep containers sealed — pomegranate seed oil oxidises rapidly on exposure to air. Nitrogen blanket packing available on request to maximise shelf life. Recommended shelf life: 12–18 months from date of manufacture when stored correctly.
