Pomegranate Sterols

Our Pomegranate Sterols are a luxurious lipid-rich active derived from the nutrient-dense fractions of pomegranate seed and pericarp, prized for their exceptional skin barrier support, moisture-retention properties, and elegant sensory profile. Naturally rich in phytosterols, these concentrated botanical lipids help support smoother, softer, and more resilient-looking skin while enhancing hydration and overall formulation performance.

Known for their rich, velvety texture and impressive water-holding capabilities, Pomegranate Sterols are especially valued in advanced skincare, barrier-repair formulations, lip care, hair care, baby care, and anti-aging applications. These sterols help mimic and support components naturally found within the skin barrier, making them a favorite ingredient in formulations designed for dry, stressed, mature, or environmentally challenged skin.

Their cushiony, petrolatum-like texture offers luxurious emolliency without the heavy or greasy after-feel often associated with traditional occlusives.
