Evaluación de una formulación con potencial actividad antioxidante a partir del extracto Punica granatum (granada) y medición de parámetros específicos que mejoren las características de la piel

Abstract

This study examines the impact of Punica granatum (pomegranate) seed extract on skin hydration and firmness, due to the increasing demand for dermocosmetic products containing natural ingredients. The skin, as the body's largest organ, requires proper hydration and elasticity, which decline with aging and environmental stressors. A cosmetic lotion was developed using Punica granatum (pomegranate) seed extract, rich in antioxidant compounds such as polyphenols, flavonoids, and ellagic acid. An in vivo study was conducted over four weeks, assessing changes with a Corneometer and Indentometer. Results showed a significant improvement in hydration and firmness compared to the control group, attributed to the bioactive compounds that enhance water retention and skin regeneration. These findings confirm the potential of pomegranate extract as a safe, effective, and sustainable active ingredient for facial dermocosmetic formulations.
