Triple-Active Pomegranate Extract for Beauty from Within
Grantria® is a clinically validated pomegranate extract standardized to three bioactives ellagic acid, punicic acid, and punicalagin, plus trace plant vitamin C and zinc. A single 300 mg daily dose for 60 days delivered a 48% reduction in crow's feet and a 42.8% gain in skin radiance versus placebo in a randomized, placebo-controlled study.
What is Grantria®?
Grantria® is a proprietary pomegranate extract (Punica granatum) developed using ADOP (Advanced Oil-to-Powder) technology. It is the first pomegranate ingredient standardized to all three signature bioactives ellagic acid, punicic acid, and punicalagin plus trace amounts of plant-derived vitamin C and zinc for synergistic collagen and antioxidant support. A 60-day randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study in 60 women validated its skin health benefits at a 300 mg daily dose.
Built on ADOP Technology
Advanced Oil-to-Powder processing converts lipophilic pomegranate seed bioactives into a stable, soluble, clean-label powder. The result is better formulation flexibility across gummies, stick packs, softgels, capsules, and tablets without solvent residue concerns.
Clinically Validated in Women
A 60-day, 60-subject randomized, placebo-controlled trial in women aged 35 to 65 showed significant improvements in crow's feet wrinkles, tactile roughness, forehead fine lines, forehead wrinkles, and skin radiance versus placebo.
Clean Label and Globally Compliant
Grantria® is Clean Label Project certified and holds a Health Canada NPN (80135552). Produced in a GMP-certified, FDA-registered facility aligned with ISO 9001:2015. A plant-derived, vegan, nutricosmetic ready actives system.
Built for the Women's Wellness Shelf
Beyond visible skin benefits, pomegranate bioactives are studied for antioxidant, hormonal balance, and healthy aging support. That lets brands position Grantria® as a single ingredient anchor for skin, menopause, and overall women's wellness SKUs.
Three pomegranate bioactives. One synergistic system.
Most pomegranate extracts isolate one or two polyphenols. Grantria® delivers all three signature bioactives in calibrated ratios so each pathway in the skin aging story is covered from antioxidant defense to collagen support to pigmentation control.
A polyphenol studied in oral and topical work for UV-induced pigmentation control. Inhibits tyrosinase activity, a key enzyme in melanin formation.
- Supports even skin tone
- Tyrosinase activity modulation
- UV pigmentation defense
- Antioxidant activity
A rare omega-5 conjugated fatty acid from pomegranate seed oil. Reported to support the integrity of the epidermis and healthy skin barrier function.
- Epidermal barrier support
- Skin moisturization
- Lipid membrane integrity
- Conjugated fatty acid activity
A large polyphenol documented to protect DNA from oxidative damage, reduce keratinocyte stress, and support wound healing and cell adhesion in published research.
- Oxidative stress protection
- DNA damage defense
- Keratinocyte support
- Wound healing activity
The Triple-Active Outcome
When standardized together in Grantria®, these three bioactives target the pillars of skin aging in parallel: visible wrinkles and fine lines, tactile roughness, pigmentation and skin tone, and barrier and moisture. Trace plant vitamin C and zinc round out the collagen and antioxidant story for a complete beauty-from-within ingredient.
60 days. Dermatologist-scored. Placebo controlled.
Published in the American Journal of Translational Research, the study enrolled 60 women aged 35 to 65 and randomized them to 300 mg Grantria® or placebo once daily for 60 days. Skin was scored by a dermatologist using the Bazin and Flament skin aging atlas, and measured with Visioscan® topography and Cutometer® elasticity instrumentation.
Study Highlights

Dermatologist Scoring
Significant reductions (P<0.001) in crow's feet, tactile roughness, forehead fine lines, and forehead wrinkles versus placebo, scored on the Bazin and Flament skin aging atlas.
-
Visioscan® Topography
4.58% reduction in facial pores (P<0.001) and 2.78% reduction in dark spots (P<0.005) from baseline at Day 60.
-
Skin Tone & UV Pigmentation
Significantly improved skin tone evenness and reduced UV pigmentation from baseline; placebo group showed opposite trends.
