Pomegranate Oil
Pomegranate Oil is meticulously extracted from the seeds of Punica Granatum through the gentle process of cold pressing. This remarkable oil belongs to the Lythraceae family within the plant kingdom. Pomegranate, an ancient fruit, has embarked on a journey through time, originating in Persia and spreading its influence across the Mediterranean regions. Its presence extended to Arabia, Afghanistan, China, and India, where it gained notable popularity for its culinary and medicinal applications. Pomegranate holds a significant place in the ancient Ayurvedic traditions of India, with numerous references to its exceptional qualities. It ranges in color from pale yellow to golden yellow and has an aroma characteristic of an Omega-5 fatty acid odour profile. Pomegranate Oil that undergoes further refinement is either colourless or yellow, and its characteristic scent is similar to that of most carrier oils.
