Description Maracuja Oil is reported to help repair damaged skin whether due to excessive tanning or due to acne or rosacea. This is partly due to its anti-inflammatory properties and possibly also due to its vitamin C content since this vitamin is essential for the manufacture of collagen. The vitamin C content in Maracuja Oil can help to make your skin look brighter skin, whilst calcium and phosphorus work to nourish skin to enhance skins healthy appearance. Maracuja Oil is very rich in essential fatty acids. It contains nearly 80% linoleic acid together with oleic, palmitic and stearic acids. These essential fatty acids not only work as a great moisturiser but they also have anti-inflammatory properties helping to alleviate inflammatory skin concerns such as rosacea and acne. By calming inflammation in skin, less sebum or oil is released and thus the likelihood of blocked pores in acne is greatly diminished. Because of its moisturising and anti-inflammatory properties, Maracuja Oil has a balancing effect being suitable for all skin types including sensitive, dry and oily skin. With its high antioxidant activity, Maracuja Oil is also reported to help counter fine lines and wrinkles. In addition to its topical use in skincare, Maracuja Oil can also be used as a massage oil helping to ease the pain of arthritic joints and muscle pain. Applying Maracuja Oil to the scalp is reported to help a variety of concerns from dandruff, itchy scalp, dry scalp and dry, damaged hair.
