The pomegranate-extract line comprises different families of bioflavonoids. One of these is punicalagins, which are active polyphenols with beneficial properties for the skin. This line also contains a base which is rich in vitamin A (retinol), Aloe Vera and other medicinal plants that moisturise and soothe.

Anti-inflammatory

Soothes and inhibits the activity of mast cells and basophils, preventing the release of inflammatory mediators (1).

Regenerator

Aids the proliferation of keratinocytes and procollagen synthesis (2, 3, 4).

Antioxidant

LetiGranada, the main ingredient of which is purified pomegranate extract, is formulated with a base rich in vitamin A (retinol), extract of Aloe Vera and other medicinal plants such as Calendula officinalis, Rosmarinus officinalis and Hypericum perforatum, among others, which provide the soothing moisturising effects of these plants.
