Ellagic Acid is a polyphenol extracted primarily from the pomegranate skin although it can be sometimes found in most berries: strawberry, raspberry, cranberry etc. The function of the ellagic acid in these fruits is to protect them from ultra violet radiation and microorganisms.

It has a strong antioxidant action which neutralises the cell deterioration caused by free radicals which are in turn generated by contamination, tobacco smoke, ultra violet light or infrared radiation, all of which accelerate skin aging.

Its most significant property however, is that it has a large illuminating and homogenising effect on skin tone owing to its inhibitory action against melanogenesis. This is particularly indicated for yellowing skin and for people who smoke.

It is also protects collagen and elastin against enzymatic degradation thereby providing a considerable anti-premature aging effect.
