What Is Maracuja Oil? 

Extracted from the Maracuja plant, the novelty of this oil can be attributed to its origin. The plant is found abundantly in the Amazon regions of South America and is supercharged with Linoleic Acid, nutrients, fatty acids, and antioxidants. 

Skincare Benefits Of Maracuja Oil 

Maracuja oil also dubbed passion fruit oil extends the following benefits for your skin -

1. Deep nourishment without grease: Maracuja oil exhibits long-lasting and multi-level moisturization properties. It contains Linoleic Acid which keeps hydration intact by preventing transepidermal water loss. The best part? Topical application of Maracuja oil doesn’t feel greasy, even in the slightest. The ingredient glides easily on the skin, absorbing almost instantly.

2. Balances natural oil production: The lack of hydration in oily skin cues the sebaceous glands into overdrive, leading to overproduction. This is where Maracuja Oil comes into play. It maintains your skin’s moisture levels, thereby curbing oil production for a balanced microbiome.

3. Boosts skin elasticity and Collagen production: Powered with Lycopene and Vitamin E, Maracuja Oil helps stimulate Collagen production in skin cells. So, if you want to trade fine lines and wrinkles for uber-soft and smooth skin – this ingredient should be on your radar. 

4. Reduces inflammation and redness: Maracuja Oil also boasts anti-inflammatory properties. Its application helps soothe redness, swelling, and other flare-ups.

5. Protects against environmental aggressors: Factors like UV rays, pollution, and smoke lead to the formation of free radicals. These unstable molecules attack healthy skin, leading to the depletion of Collagen and Elastin. Results? Premature aging, spots, and pigmentation. Luckily, Maracuja Oil’s antioxidant property nips this problem in the bud.
