What is maracujá?

Maracujá is Brazilian passionfruit! Passionflower/fruit is a shallow rooted vine type plant that grows in warm, tropical climates. Also known for its iconic, unique passionflower. Passionfruit of the passionflower is an antioxidant rich superfood. It also contains a compound called passiflorin, known to reduce anxiety and stress.

 

Its oil contains the aromatic substance passiflorin and is rich in a very important compound in aiding skin build ceramides, linoleic acid. This means it’s great for helping skin repair and rebuild the natural lipid barrier layer, as well as quite anti inflammatory.

 

The oil is also highly antioxidant rich! This helps defend our skin against environmental free radical damage, as well as promote cellular renewal because of its naturally occurring high vitamin A + C content.
