 Maracuja or passion fruit oil is a rich source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and essential antioxidants, and it’s considered to be an excellent emollient with the ability to moisturize as it easily penetrates deep into the skin while preventing moisture from seeping out. Just a few of its vitamins and minerals which includes antioxidants, flavonoids, vitamin A, vitamin C, riboflavin, niacin, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, fiber, and protein. The quercetin in the passion flower is considered to be one of the most powerfully protective compounds known and offers numerous beneficial compounds, including potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.

Research published in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition showed that the oil extracted from passion fruit seeds was rich in linoleic acid, one of the essential fatty acids which plays a key role in supporting skin health. In fact, it contains 72.6 percent linoleic acid, which makes it one of the best sources of the essential fatty acid on the planet.

Another study, published in the journal Molecules suggested that maracuja oil has a high antioxidant activity. Although this study did not look at the skin-protecting properties of Maracuja Oil, there is some evidence that topical use of antioxidant creams and oils may help fight sun damage and perhaps even reverse the signs of the damage, as it contains carotenoids, which are renowned for its ability to protect from sun damage.

Benefits of Maracuja Oil

 Soothing dry skin
As maracuja oil is an outstanding emollient, it’s especially effective for dry skin and can be applied to help keep it hydrated. As some people can be sensitive to it, it’s best to do a patch test on a small area of the skin first – then, if there is no signs of irritation, you can safely apply the oil in its undiluted form. Simply add a few drops of the oil onto the palm of your hand and then rub it gently into the dry areas of your skin. It’s light, which means it won’t feel greasy after applying, yet it does a great job of moisturizing. If you have large dry areas of skin, be sure to dilute it with a carrier oil first, such as olive oil, jojoba or olive oil – it will last much longer and still be effective.

Relieving the pain of sore muscles
In addition to its topical use in skincare, maracuja oil can also be used as a massage oil to help ease the pain of arthritic joints and muscle pain. Blend olive oil with maracuja oil and simply massage it into your sore muscles and then perform some basic stretching on that muscle group for additional relief. As maracuja is anti-inflammatory, it can reduce that excess inflammation that causes sore muscles. Its rich linoleic acid content further helps in lowering inflammation for maximum relief.

Promoting a better night’s rest
One often overlooked property of this oil is that it contains medicinal alkaloids, including harman which functions as a sedative. That compound has been linked to a reduction in restlessness and insomnia. Its anti-anxiety abilities mean it also works to prevent nervous anxiety that can prevent one from getting a good night’s sleep.
There are a number of ways you can use it – simply sprinkle a few drops across your pillow, while the scent is faint, it’s still effective for inducing sleep. You can also inhale the oil by taking a steam bath. Just before bed, prepare a warm bath. Once the bathtub is filled, at least enough to cover your body, add 10 to 20 drops of maracuja oil and then soak in the water. The warm water will then release steam that contains volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, from the oil. If you have a vent in the bathroom, turn it off for the most powerful effects. As long as the bath stays warm, the aroma should become more pronounced. When you’re finished, the combination of the warm water and the sleep-inducing effects of maracuja oil will help you sleep like a baby.

Improve scalp and hair health
Applying maracuja oil to the scalp and/or hair is said to promote hair growth as well as to treat dry or damaged hair. Thanks to its anti-itch properties, it helps to relieve the itch of dandruff and other scalp conditions. To use it as a scalp treatment, apply several drops to your scalp just before you shower and then massage in. Allow the oil to penetrate for several minutes, and then wash the hair as usual. For treating the dry ends of your hair, towel dry it first after you shower and then add a few drops to the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together and then distribute through the ends and style as usual. Be careful to limit it to three drops at max, or it can leave a residue.

As the oil is rich in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, it also helps in the development of collagen, which not only boosts skin health, it can prevent your hair from splitting and breaking. It also protects the body from free radical damage, thereby eliminating external deterrents that can cause stress and imbalances, leading to hair loss.
