FSS Passion Fruit Seed Oil
The word passion can evoke strong feelings of emotion and captivate a sense of longing and desire. For many, the fruit also conjures imagery of an exotic and lush tropical paradise.
Appealing to the adventurous thrill seeker and those aspiring to be, passion fruit is perhaps the epitome of the super fruit trend. Although native to South America, the popularity of passion fruit has led to its cultivation throughout the Caribbean, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Hawaii, Australia, India, South Africa and Mexico. It can be grown virtually in any frost‐free climate. Passion fruit is prized for its intoxicating aroma and bright flavor. The pulp of the fruit is typically squeezed for juice and is often used for making jams, juice blends, deserts and cocktails. The fruit is an excellent source of vitamins A & C as well as flavonoids which act as potent antioxidants that are capable of providing much needed protection from reactive oxygen species. Passion fruit also contains calcium, a mineral involved in enhancing cell renewal to help smooth and revitalize the skin. Revered for its soothing properties, passion fruit seed oil is a popular addition to cosmetics as it is capable of providing nourishing and conditioning benefits. Passion Fruit Seed Oil is often referred to as Maracuja Oil.
