4 Major Benefits of Maracuja Oil

 4 Major Benefits of Maracuja Oil

Maracuja oil is extracted from the seeds of the maracuja plant, found in the lush South American rainforests (just like our other friend, the acai berry). The name “maracuja” might not sound familiar to you at first, but it goes by a more common name that you may know: passion fruit. The Passiflora edulis fruit and its passion flower are native to Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina, and bear a gorgeous purple bloom that’s the true source of the maracuja seed oil.



Health Benefits of Maracuja Oil

Long before we knew about the tropical taste of passion fruit juice, the natives of South America had been using maracuja for its therapeutic and nutritional benefits for hundreds of years. Thanks to their beneficial alkaloid content, maracuja leaves have long been used as a sedative to treat a variety of health conditions like anxiety, insomnia, and high blood pressure. Maracuja fruit is packed with a long list of vitamins and antioxidants, including vitamin C and beta carotene that can help fend off damaging free radicals.

Maracuja Oil for Skin

Maracuja oil itself is rich in essential fatty acids and nutrients, which are vital to skin health. Linoleic acid in maracuja oil keeps skin moisturized and is ideal for soothing dry, flaky skin and also acne prone skin.

Maracuja oil is rich in protective antioxidants like lycopene, to battle the effects of sun damage, pollution, and other environmental stressors. Lycopene works with maracuja’s natural vitamin C content to even skin tone and promote collagen production for firmer, brighter, smoother skin and less visible wrinkles.

Maracuja Oil for Hair

Since hair and skin share many similar nutrient needs, maracuja oil benefits can also extend to your scalp. Collagen keeps your skin plump and firm, and can also strengthen your hair to prevent it from splitting and breaking. The high antioxidant content in maracuja protects against hair loss, and moisturizing properties of this oil are effective for conditioning hair to enhance smoothness and volume. That sounds like something we’d all love for our eyelashes, too!

Conclusion
