Punica Granatum Fruit Juice
Pomegranate juice, used to condition skin and add scent.
What it does
It’s pressed from the fruit of the pomegranate tree, Punica granatum. It’s there for the formula, not as a tested skin treatment.
The evidence, graded
expert consensusUS safety reviewers (2020) assessed 18 pomegranate ingredients, most used to condition skin. They judged 9 safe as used, pomegranate fruit juice among them, and had too little data on the other 9. The juice is used at up to 0.1%, in makeup. Some pomegranate extracts may lighten skin, which counts as a drug effect, so makers must use them in a way that doesn’t cause pale patches.Burnett 2020 · Cosmetic Ingredient Review ↗
