Passion-Fruit
Our PASSION FRUIT OIL is extracted from the seeds of passion fruits, holding approximately 3% of an aromatic and brown-red reddish oil. Our sustainable harvesting model, using the fruits, allows local people to get income from the trees instead of cutting them to sell the wood. No preservatives, additives or other chemicals are added. It is grown naturally in the Amazon without any pesticides or fertilizers. The oil is cold-pressed, mechanically filtered and packed immediately protecting the oil from light.
The PASSION FRUIT OIL has a polyunsaturated fatty acid content, especially the Linoleic
Acid.
