FSS PomeaShield

FSS PomeaShield leverages the power of pomegranate (Punica granatum)—a fruit long celebrated for its medicinal, nutritional, and cosmetic benefits. Developed using a Cradle to Cradle method, this ingredient utilizes the entire pomegranate (seed, peel, and juice), dramatically reducing agricultural waste and reinforcing your brand’s commitment to sustainability.

Scientifically, FSS PomeaShield is packed with antioxidant-rich polyphenols, including punicalagin, ellagic acid, gallotannins, anthocyanins, and flavonoids. These compounds help neutralize harmful free radicals, protecting skin from oxidative stress that accelerates cellular aging and contributes to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging.

Beyond antioxidant protection, this extract supports cellular detoxification and helps regulate the skin’s response to cellular senescence—a key contributor to skin aging. By reducing the accumulation of aged, metabolically active skin cells, FSS PomeaShield improves skin tone, resilience, and elasticity. Its ability to boost elastin production helps maintain skin firmness and smoothness over time.

Made Of:

FSS PomeaShield is a water-soluble active derived from the whole pomegranate (fruit, peel, and seeds), standardized for high polyphenol content. It is developed using local sourcing and full-plant utilization to minimize waste and maximize efficacy.

Scientifically Proven

🔬 Cellular Senescence Reduction – SA-β-gal Activity

Fibroblasts treated with FSS PomeaShield at 0.01%, 0.1%, and 1.0% demonstrated 22%, 27%, and 34% reductions in SA-β-gal activity compared to untreated “aged” fibroblasts.

♻️ Cellular Detoxification Activation – Autophagic Lysosome Formation

Treatment with FSS PomeaShield increased autophagic-lysosomal vacuoles by 4%, 23%, and 27% at concentrations of 0.01%, 0.1%, and 1.0%, respectively.

🧵 Elastin Production – ELISA Assay

Elastin levels increased by 17%, 22%, and 28% at 0.01%, 0.1%, and 1.0% concentrations, respectively.

💧 Skin Barrier Support – TEWL Reduction

After 4 weeks, FSS PomeaShield reduced transepidermal water loss by 62% (p=0.047), while the untreated site and base lotion showed minimal to no improvement.

🌊 Moisturization Improvement

At 2.0%, FSS PomeaShield increased skin hydration by 24% after 24 hours and 21% after one week compared to the untreated site.

✨ Sebum and Shine Reduction

In a 6-hour efficacy study, a 2.0% FSS PomeaShield formulation reduced sebum levels more effectively than the base lotion.
