Top Sante magazine is a health-focused magazine dedicated to wellbeing, psychology, anti-ageing, diet and nutrition and it has identified the pomegranate as a "superfood", claiming the benefits of the well-known fruit can be felt on the skin and as a great source of anti-oxidants.

Pomegranates' association with natural skincare, general wellbeing and youth-boosting go as far back as the Bronze Age, according to the magazine.

It's extremely rich in vitamin C, vitamin B5, potassium and antioxidant polyphenols, so it helps prolong the life of skin cells.

As a result, the skin's ability to heal quickly improves to slow down the effects of ageing in a natural way, without the need for synthetic chemicals.

If taken internally, the fruit is "a powerhouse of nutrients" as it helps in supporting the immune system and sustaining blood pressure.

Top Sante magazine said it is around three times richer in antioxidants than green tea and can be found in Weleda's Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil.
