Overview

Organic Pomegranate Seed CO2 Extracted Carrier Oil

Our organic Pomegranate Seed CO2 is an elegant fatty (carrier) oil with an extremely high punicic acid content. This constituent is nearly unique to pomegranates, is a highly nourishing, supersaturated omega-5 fatty acid for the skin, and gives a thick, rich and luxurious feel to the oil.1 In topical preparations, it supports the elasticity of the skin and may improve the appearance of aging and sun-exposure. In addition, our Pomegranate Seed CO2 also contains CLnA (conjugated alpha-linolenic acid) isomers, linoleic acid and oleic acid.With a variety of antioxidant and beneficial constituents, it is ideal in combination with other carrier oils for use in skin care products and formulations.

Please note that the low temperature CO2 extraction process (up to 104˚F/40˚C) for carrier oils ensures a product that  more closely resembles that which is found in the raw plant material and has a longer shelf life than cold  processed carrier oils.4 In addition, CO2 carrier oils meet strict heavy metal requirements and contain no carbohydrates, protein, or inorganic salts.5

Our organic Pomegranate Seed CO2 contains a small percentage of Rosemary Antioxidant CO2 – Organic to help maintain freshness.

  • The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy, Valerie Ann Worwood, 2016, pp. 365, 371.
  • Power of the Seed, Susan M. Parker, 2014, pp. 168-9.

Storage Suggestions: We recommend that this oil be stored in a refrigerator and used within 1-2 years of the purchase date. It is normal for some crystallization to occur.


Blending Suggestions: Depending on the type of product you are formulating, you can use between 2% to 100%. For a massage oil, we suggest combining 5% to 20% Pomegranate Seed CO2 with 80% to 95% of another carrier oil, or a combination of other carrier oils, such as  Sunflower Oil - OrganicJojoba Oil, Golden - Organic, or Fractionated Coconut Oil - Organic.


Solubility: Soluble in fixed oils, insoluble in alcohol.


Appearance: Golden orange, transparent, somewhat viscous liquid vegetal oil. Please note that this product may gel when exposed to cold temperatures due to the presences of Punicic Acid and naturally occurring waxes. Very gentle heating in a water bath will return this oil to its fluid state.


Aromatic Profile: Very mild nutty/seed-like, rich fatty aroma with a slight astringent note.


Safety Considerations: None known. A patch test should be performed before use for those with sensitive skin.

Customer Reviews for Pomegranate Seed CO2 - Organic

The BEST Pom Oil Review by
Rating

Honestly, Eden Botanicals never disappoints - the quality of their oils are a step above the others - plus their packaging is superb - and customer service top notch.

This Pomegranate Oil is a key ingredient - especially for dry and/or mature skin. It nourishes, hydrates and heals wonderfully. I feel its protective characteristics enhance overall quality and appearance of skin so I put it in all my skin care.

Also, I've had other Pom oils that did not solidify in fridge (and if they are 100% pure Pom oil, they should) - this does exactly what it is supposed to do when put in fridge.

Thank you Eden for your commitment to quality and high standards for us all!

Not only are they yummy to eat, love those antioxidants. This carrier will do wonders for your skin's top superficial layer since it will regenerate and benefit the cells of that layer to assist in collagen production and we ladies can't get enough of that can we?

I've used this is a blend for a woman who was allergic to absolutely everything. She had very dry blotchy skin and when she tried this (along with Frankincense and Sea Buckthorn oil) she called immediately and said she needed to buy a tub of it. It really improved her skin elasticity.
