Punica Granatum (Pomegranate) Flower Extract is a botanical extract rich in polyphenols, tannins, and flavonoids used in skincare for its antioxidant and soothing properties. It is typically incorporated to help protect skin from oxidative stress and provide mild astringent and conditioning effects.
