Pomegranate Peel Extract Active Ingredients Drive Health Product Innovation

In recent years, driven by consumers' growing demand for “natural, healthy, and sustainable” products, clean labeling and the naturalization of functional ingredients have become key development directions across the food, health supplement, and cosmetics industries. Particularly in niche markets like antioxidants and anti-aging, plant-based active ingredients are highly favored for their green and safe characteristics. Against this backdrop, pomegranate peel extract—a highly active ingredient derived from traditional fruit byproducts—is rapidly gaining industry attention as a key functional raw material driving innovation in natural products.

As a high-value natural ingredient, pomegranate peel extract derives its core functional properties primarily from polyphenolic compounds, notably tannins (such as punicalagin and ellagic acid) and flavonoids (including anthocyanins and quercetin).

These components exhibit exceptional antioxidant and physiological activity, finding widespread application across the following sectors:

· Health Foods & Beverages: Used as natural antioxidants in oils, meat products, and baked goods to delay oxidation and extend shelf life; incorporated into functional beverages and dietary supplements to provide antioxidant support.

· Skincare & Cosmetics: Added to serums, creams, masks, and other products to help neutralize free radicals, combat photoaging, and enhance anti-aging and brightening efficacy.

· Pharmaceuticals and Health Supplements: Serves as a natural functional base material to assist in regulating bodily functions, suitable for formulations like capsules and tablets.

Among the numerous active components in pomegranate peel extract, punicalagin and ellagic acid form its core value foundation due to their exceptional functional properties.

Punicalagin: The Natural Antioxidant Star Component

Punicalagin is a unique active component found exclusively in pomegranate peel, currently obtainable only through natural extraction. This compound remains stable under acidic to neutral conditions but undergoes hydrolysis in alkaline environments. Research indicates that punicalagin is significantly present in pomegranate peel polyphenol extracts, serving as a primary contributor to their antioxidant capacity. It is now widely used in functional foods and skincare products.

Ellagic Acid: A Multifunctional Natural Active Ingredient Ellagic acid is one of the primary metabolic products of phellodendrin in the body and possesses outstanding biological activity. It excels in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, exerting positive effects through multiple mechanisms. Benefiting from its natural origin and excellent safety profile, ellagic acid has been widely applied in health foods, skincare products, and pharmaceutical raw materials.
