Leven Rose Maracuja Oil is made from one simple ingredient: 100% organic, semi-filtered, cold-pressed Passion Fruit Seed Oil. No fillers, fragrances, additives, or synthetic ingredients—just pure oil in its natural state.
In this guide, we'll cover what Maracuja Oil is, how to use it, and why it's become a favorite among those looking for lightweight moisture and everyday nourishment.
What Is Maracuja Oil?
Maracuja Oil is extracted from the seeds of the passion fruit (Passiflora incarnata).
Native to regions of South America and Africa, passion fruit has long been appreciated for its nutrient-rich seeds and naturally lightweight oil.
Leven Rose Maracuja Oil is cold-pressed and semi-filtered to help preserve its natural qualities while maintaining a smooth, easy-to-use texture.
Because it absorbs quickly, it's often chosen by those who want moisture without a heavy or greasy finish.
What Does "Cold-Pressed" Mean?
Cold pressing is an extraction method that avoids excessive heat during production.
This process helps preserve the oil's naturally occurring fatty acids and beneficial compounds while maintaining quality and freshness.
After extraction, the oil is bottled to help protect its natural integrity.
