Pomegranate extract and oil are highly valued in trichology due to their unique concentration of powerful polyphenols and rare fatty acids. Obtained through innovative "green" technology (ultrasonic Soxhlet extraction), these ingredients retain maximum biological activity. Pomegranate acts as a powerful biostimulant, which not only protects the hair from external aggressors but also actively modulates the scalp's microbiome, promoting a healthy growth cycle.
Here are the key components of pomegranate that transform hair health:
- Punicic Acid (Omega-5): This rare polyunsaturated fatty acid, found in seed oil, possesses exceptional anti-inflammatory properties. It soothes the scalp and creates an optimal environment for strengthening the roots.
- Anthocyanins and Punicalagin: Powerful polyphenols that neutralize oxidative stress. They protect hair follicles from premature damage and improve microcirculation, providing better hair nourishment.
- Ellagic Acid: A potent antioxidant that inhibits collagen degradation and maintains the elasticity of the scalp skin, supporting the structural integrity of the follicle.
- Anagen Phase Stimulators: Scientific studies show that pomegranate extract acts similarly to minoxidil, actively "waking up" follicles from a resting phase (telogen) and transitioning them into an active growth phase (anagen).
- Vitamins C and E: This antioxidant combination builds a protective shield against free radicals generated by UV radiation, preventing breakage and loss of vitality.
- Tannins and Flavonoids: Thanks to its high tannin content, the extract is extremely effective at "locking in" pigment in the hair, preventing the fading of natural and dyed color.
Antimicrobial Compounds: Pomegranate exhibits natural anti-dandruff activity by balancing the scalp microbiome and reducing excess sebum and inflammation.
