Pomegranate Enzymes

Our Pomegranate Enzymes are an innovative upcycled active created through a lower-impact fermentation process, helping reboot dull skin through gentle exfoliation, hydration and brightening, while refining texture and reviving radiance without the harshness of traditional acids.

Not all extracts are created equal. The results outlined below relate to the specific Pomegranate Enzyme active we use, selected for its performance, scientific backing, and environmental impact.

Gentle skin resurfacing: clinically proven to reduce pigmentation levels by 14% in four days, delivering results comparable to glycolic acid.

Natural proteolytic enzymes break down the proteins that bind dead skin cells together, helping to lift dull surface build up and reveal smoother, fresher looking skin. This refines texture and helps unclog pores for a more revitalised appearance.

Accelerated cellular renewal: clinically proven to increase cellular renewal by 16% compared to untreated skin in a keratinocyte assay.

Rich in ellagic acid, these enzymes help speed up surface renewal, supporting smoother, more radiant skin and helping to reduce visible signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles. This renewal process also helps support skin vitality and elasticity over time.

Hydration and skin barrier:  Clinically proven to increase skin hydration by 130% after two hours, with levels remaining significantly elevated after 24 hours, while also reducing transepidermal water loss to support a stronger skin barrier.

Natural humectants such as glycerin and polysaccharides draw moisture into the skin and help retain it, delivering lasting hydration. At the same time, improved barrier function helps reduce transepidermal water loss, strengthening the skin’s ability to hold onto that moisture for longer and leaving skin plumper, smoother, with a healthy dewy glow.

Enhanced skin brightening: clinically proven to reduce pigmentation by 14% in four days, helping promote a brighter, more even looking complexion. 

Rich in ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and ellagic acid, Pomegranate Enzymes help regulate melanin production, targeting pigmentation and age spots to help even skin tone and give skin a luminous glow.

Antioxidant protection

Our Pomegranate Enzymes are derived from antioxidant-rich pomegranate and contain polyphenols and other antioxidant compounds that help neutralise free radicals caused by UV exposure and pollution, protecting your skin from oxidative stress and premature ageing. This helps support a more even looking complexion and a luminous glow.

Soothing benefits

Rich in anti-inflammatory polyphenols, our Pomegranate Enzymes help calm irritated skin and reduce redness, supporting a more balanced complexion while defending skin against daily stressors.

Our upcycled Pomegranate Enzymes begin with organic pomegranates sourced from growers who take a holistic approach to agriculture, using regenerative farming practices that support soil health, biodiversity, and wildlife preservation. Our partners prioritise the safety, wellbeing, and fair treatment of workers, helping support the communities behind the ingredient.
 

Once the pomegranates are harvested for juice, the remaining pulp is transformed through fermentation, enhancing the availability of its bioactives and strengthening its natural enzymatic activity. Combined with reduced additives and lower measured production inputs, this process helps unlock more skin benefits from what already exists while helping reduce waste and environmental impact.
