Origin
Passiflora Edulis Seed Oil is extracted from the seeds of the passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) through a process of cold-pressing. The seeds are mechanically pressed to release the oil, which is then filtered to remove any impurities. This method preserves the oil’s natural nutrients. The resulting oil is then packaged in dark or opaque containers to protect it from light and air, maintaining its efficacy and shelf life.
