Ingredient Crush: Pomegranate Sterols

Organic Pomegranate Sterols is an evidence-based active ingredient that helps protect the outer layer of your skin, boost cell regeneration by increasing circulation while also protecting from free radical damage and environmental stressors. All of this makes the ingredient a true powerhouse since it protects the epidermis and aids in healing the skin. 

The repairing and healing pomegranate sterols do for the skin is more than you think. The skincare ingredient is rich in antioxidants and repairs UV-damaged skin by acting as a protector from sun exposure which also helps to prevent hyperpigmentation. Wait, there’s more! Pomegranate sterols also promote youthful skin thanks to its small molecule structure that deeply penetrates into the skin, this effectively treats dryness and irritation.

Similar to cholesterol, plant sterols help to reduce trans-epidermal water loss which is the loss of water passing from inside your body through the epidermis (aka, the top layer of your skin). It does this by retaining moisture and hydration. When our skin is exposed to adverse weather, temperature and seasonal changes or overexposure to the sun, our skin’s protective barrier is compromised. When it comes to your lips, the moisture content and barrier function are much lower than the rest of your skin, that’s because our lips don’t have sebaceous glands or hair follicles. This makes them especially susceptible to dryness and damage.

This phytosterol (pomegranate sterol) will aid in barrier protection, offer antioxidant protection from free radical damage and can act as an anti-inflammatory agent. The skin-transforming ingredient can be used in not just skincare, but as a natural replacement for synthetic materials in makeup formulas too!

WHAT FITGLOW PRODUCTS CONTAIN ORGANIC POMEGRANATE STEROLS? 

NIGHT LIP SERUM

We just talked about our lips needing some extra love when it comes to skincare, so it only makes sense that our famous Night Lip Serum includes such a powerhouse ingredient. 

This nightly lip treatment (which can be used throughout the day too!) works to moisturize, condition and completely transform the lips. The Night Lip Serum is boosted with proven plant extracts, organic micro rice ceramides that replenish the skin barrier and of course, pomegranate sterols to reduce the trans epidermal water loss and dryness. Working to improve lip structure and density, this night treatment increases volume and reduces the appearance of fine lines and signs of aging.

LIP COLOUR SERUM

The Fitglow Lip Colour Serums are a makeup and skincare gamechanger. They not only give you a stunning colour for any look, but also hydrate, repair, restructure and plump the lips while you’re looking your best. Made with pomegranate sterol and vegetable collagen, this lip-nourishing powerhouse serum actually penetrates deeply into your lips and holds double its weight in water. This is how hydration is increased so much when the product is used and why it improves the moisture barrier function to enhance overall lip fullness and health.

SEA CERAMIDE TONING MIST

Densely rehydrating, herbal-infused and always nourishing, this toner will quickly become your new essential in your skincare routine. Why? Because it works to repair and replenish that delicate moisture barrier and balance the skin. The Sea Ceramide Toning mist holds sea nutrient botanicals and mineral that help calm irritation and any inflammation in the skin. A powerful combination of time-releasing ceramides and pomegranate sterols work together to replenish that moisture barrier and retain hydration within your skin. Overall, this toning spray has deeply restorative botanicals that help skin look clear, calm and quenched.
