Pomegranate Seed Oil

Product Overview

From the heart of Kannauj, India — the Perfume Capital of India — Shiva Exports India presents our premium, cold-pressed Pomegranate Seed Oil, a highly therapeutic, nutrient-dense botanical lipid prized by global cosmetic formulators and wellness brands. We combine Kannauj's centuries-old legacy of botanical mastery with state-of-the-art, temperature-controlled cold-pressing technology to preserve the delicate bioactive compounds of the Punica granatum seed. This clean, solvent-free extraction process ensures an unrefined, highly stable, and therapeutic-grade oil rich in rare conjugated fatty acids, delivering unmatched anti-aging and barrier-repair efficacy for premium personal care formulations.

🌿 Olfactory Profile & Applications

Unlike standard carrier oils, our pure Pomegranate Seed Oil features a highly refined, subtle olfactory profile. It exhibits a faint, clean, slightly nutty aroma with delicate, dry, fruity-acidic undertones. This minimal aromatic footprint makes it an exceptional, non-competing base lipid for high-end formulations, allowing delicate essential oils and absolutes to remain prominent. Its primary industrial applications include:

• Cosmetic Formulations: High-performance anti-aging serums, barrier-repair creams, eye creams, and overnight facial oils.
• Hair & Scalp Care: Scalp-stimulating treatments, hair-growth serums, and conditioning masks designed to revitalize hair follicles.
• Aromatherapy & Fine Fragrances: A luxurious, nutrient-rich carrier oil for clean-beauty roll-on perfumes, body oils, and premium massage blends.
• Nutraceuticals & Pharmaceuticals: Active ingredient in topical dermatological ointments targeting eczema, psoriasis, and sun-damaged skin.

📖 Usage & Formulation Guide

Pomegranate Seed Oil is a highly versatile active lipid. Its unique molecular structure allows it to penetrate deeply into the epidermis without leaving a greasy residue. Utilize these industry-standard guidelines for formulation:

• Advanced Anti-Aging Serums: Incorporate at 5% to 15% in the oil phase of emulsions or anhydrous serums. Combine with lighter lipids like Squalane or Jojoba Oil to optimize absorption rates and deliver high concentrations of punicic acid to stimulate keratinocyte proliferation.
• Scalp & Hair Revitalizers: Formulate at 2% to 5% in scalp treatments. It blends synergistically with Rosemary and Peppermint essential oils, helping to stimulate microcirculation, reduce scalp flakiness, and strengthen hair shafts.
• Natural Perfumery & Roll-On Accords: Use at 75% to 90% dilution as a premium carrier. Its rich viscosity acts as a natural fixative, anchoring volatile top notes and extending the wear time of delicate botanical absolutes on the skin.
• Premium Soap Making: Integrate at 3% to 8% as a superfatting agent in cold-process soap formulations. This preserves the oil’s potent antioxidant profile, ensuring a highly moisturizing, skin-softening bar with a rich, stable lather.
