Pomegranate Water – Benefits, Side Effects & Uses

by ThankMeNow Editors on Sep 10, 2025
Pomegranate Water (Punica Granatum Fruit Water) is a delicate, water-soluble botanical hydrosol derived from steam distillation, containing micro-antioxidants and volatile aromatic molecules. It delivers an instant cooling and refreshing feel, making it ideal for heat-reactive, sensitive, or flushed skin, and has been observed to provide redness reduction (8−14%) and a significant hydration boost (12−22%). Functioning as a soothing base in toners and mists (used at 20−100%), this ingredient supports the skin's moisture flow and light antioxidant defense without any heaviness or stickiness.
