Introducing the Black Pomegranate line: A skin-volumizing line that contains black pomegranate to actively reduce the effects of aging on skin. It works to replenish skin’s moisture, plumping and firming to fill lines and creases, typical signs of skin aging, which appear in the skin between, around, and under the eyes.

Pomegranate: The Fruit of Life

Well known in Greek mythology as the forbidden fruit that sealed the goddess Persephone’s fate and prized for its associations to abundance, fertility, and fecundity, the vibrant pomegranate is a symbol of luxury and prosperity and has health benefits that are still being explored. It has been cultivated for thousands of years across several continents. This antioxidant rich fruit has been known to be packed with vitamins C and E and acts as an anti-inflammatory. With this in mind, the SKINFOOD labs developed the Black Pomegranate Voluming Effector™, a proprietary extract which is enriched with pomegranate’s natural ellagic acids and antioxidant properties and combined with ultra-hydrating hyaluronic acid to deliver illuminating moisture to aging skin for a soft and supple complexion.

Anti-aging…Acid?

Hyaluronic Acid, or sodium hyaluronate, is a moisturizing factor that is produced naturally by the dermis layer of skin. It can hold up to 1,000x its own weight in water and is self-regulating. What this means for your skin is that it attracts water to your skin cells and holds it there, so that skin feels and appears plump and firm, smoothing away aging damage and making skin ultra-hydrated and healthy.

Maybe Persephone Had the Right Idea All Along

As the seasons change, especially from summer to fall, skin undergoes changes in temperature and environmental conditions which can render it dry and inelastic. The cooler seasons prompt skin to thicken its epidermis, or top layer, which can appear dull as its moisture content decreases. Collagen and elastin synthesis in skin, which contributes to skin’s suppleness, slow down, resulting in skin that looks deflated or hollowed out. Maybe Persephone wasn’t tricked into going after that pomegranate – maybe girlfriend was just trying to upgrade her skin routine with some fruit of life revitalization action.
