Ingredient - Passionfruit Extract (Passiflora Incarnata Fruit Extract)

The peel and pulp are then processed to extract the juice. The juice is then concentrated and filtered to produce the extract. This extract is a rich source of vitamins A and C, essential fatty acids like omega -3 and omega -6, flavonoids and phytosterols making it a valuable addition to hair care products. Additionally, passion fruit extract is known for its calming and relaxing properties. 

Plant Origin & Native Region - The tropical passionfruit, from which this extract is derived, is native to various parts of the world, including South America, Central America, south of United States, the Caribbean [including Puerto Rico], Africa, and Asia, with Brazil being the largest producer. 

Hair Specialty: Nourisher - Passion fruit extract is a renowned hair nourisher, deeply moisturizing and conditioning hair for hydrated, resilient locks. It is a good source of vitamins A, C, and E, which promote hair growth, strengthen hair follicles, prevent hair loss, and contribute to a healthier scalp.

Passion fruit extract also contains essential fatty acids like omega-3 and omega-6, which help to moisturize and condition the hair. Flavonoids in passion fruit extract have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, protecting hair from damage caused by environmental stressors and free radicals. Phytosterols in passion fruit extract provide a protective barrier to hair, preventing moisture loss and enhancing overall hair health.
