What is this
Passion Fruit Oil
Passion fruit oil, also known as maracuja oil, is pressed from the seeds of Passiflora edulis, the tropical passion fruit vine. Light, fast-absorbing and rich in linoleic acid and vitamin E, it is used in skincare to nourish without heaviness and help rebalance the look of combination skin.
Where is it found
Amazon Rainforest, Brazil
In The Nine Aurora's Brazilian beauty zone, passion fruit grows on family farms at the edge of the Amazon, where vines are trained by hand and the fruit is gathered only at full ripeness. The seeds — usually set aside once the pulp is enjoyed — are pressed slowly for their golden oil, an agriculture of patience that gives the harvest a second life.

Questions about passion fruit oil
What is maracuja (passion fruit) oil?
Maracuja oil is the seed oil of Passiflora edulis, the passion fruit vine native to South America. Cold-pressed from the small dark seeds inside the fruit, it is a light, golden oil rich in linoleic acid and vitamin E, long valued in Brazilian beauty traditions.
What does passion fruit oil do for skin?
It nourishes with essential fatty acids while remaining featherlight, leaving a soft, dry touch rather than a greasy film. It helps support the skin's moisture barrier and comfort, and its antioxidant vitamin E content helps defend the skin's appearance from environmental stress.
Is passion fruit oil good for oily or blemish-prone skin?
Yes — it is one of the lighter botanical oils, with a high linoleic acid profile that suits combination and blemish-prone skin. It absorbs quickly and helps skin feel balanced and comfortable rather than coated, which is why it appears even in our cleanser and serums.
Does passion fruit oil clog pores?
It is widely regarded as a low-comedogenic oil. Its light texture and quick absorption make it far less likely to sit on the surface than richer butters and oils, so it can bring its nourishing fatty acids even to skin that is normally wary of face oils.
