1. What is Punicalagin?
What is punicalagin pomegranate extract? It is a concentrated powder derived from the hard outer layer of pomegranate seeds, known for its high levels of antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Punicalagin is the key ingredient in our pomegranate extract powder, which is extracted from the fruit of the pomegranate plant. Punicalagin, chemically, belongs to a complex hydrolyzed tannin and is one of the most representative polyphenolic compounds in pomegranate.[1] It is mainly enriched in pomegranate peel, and its content is much higher than that of fruit pulp and juice. Therefore, pomegranate peel extract is an ideal source for obtaining high-purity naringin.[3]

3. What is the Process Flow Diagram?
The pursuit of excellence in every production step defines our high-quality Punicalagin. We adopt modern, green, and environmentally friendly extraction processes to preserve its biological activity to the greatest extent possible.
Overview of Process Flow Diagram:
High-quality pomegranate peel raw material → cleaning and drying → crushing → optimized extraction → filtration → multistage purification → reduced pressure concentration → spray drying → quality inspection → finished product packaging
4. Is Punicalagin Effective? How Does It Work?
Punicalagin, as a "versatile" skincare active ingredient,
has been extensively validated for its skincare efficacy through in vitro and in vivo experiments.

Excellent antioxidant capacity
Punicalagin demonstrated strong DPPH radical scavenging ability, with a half effective concentration (EC50) as low as 98.82 ± 0.25 μ g/mL.[2] This value indicates that at extremely low concentrations, it can effectively neutralize over 50% of free radicals, and its activity far exceeds many common antioxidants.

Anti-inflammatory and soothing
Punicalagin can significantly inhibit the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 subunit in a cell inflammation model induced by LPS, thereby downregulating the gene expression and protein secretion levels of downstream pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α).[4]

Promote collagen homeostasis
It can effectively inhibit the activity of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1). MMP-1 is a key enzyme for degrading type I collagen, and its activity increases sharply after UV irradiation. By inhibiting MMP-1, Punicalagin can effectively protect existing collagen from degradation. [5]
5. What are the Applications of Punicalagin?
The benefits of pomegranate extract punicalagin are numerous and can be seen in many applications. Due to its antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties, this extract is mainly used in cosmetics and skin-care products.
