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.² 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.

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 - Organic, Jojoba 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.
