Description:

Ellagic acid is a phenolic compound found in plants in the form of hydrolyzable tannins called ellagitannins. Ellagitannins are esters of glucose with hexahydroxydiphenic acid; when hydrolyzed, they yield Ellagic acid, the dilactone of hexahydroxydiphenic acid. Ellagic acid is a very stable compound and is readily absorbed through the gastrointestinal system in mammals, including humans.
Ellagic Acid may be one the most potent ways to fight Cancer.

Application in Cosmetic:

Ellagic acid helps to inhibit the formation of sun and age spots.
