Product description

If you’re seeking the ultimate anti-aging oil, then you’ve found it! We think fans of Moroccan argan oil will love maracuja oil even more. Maracuja oil absorbs well into skin to deeply moisturize and is more emollient than pure argan oil. Thanks to its high fatty acid content, maracuja oil is able to penetrate the skin to bring moisture much more effectively than other oils to soothe dry, chapped or cracked skin. The result can often be glowing skin with noticeably fewer signs of aging. The high concentrations of lycopene and vitamin C helps improve skin tone and promote collagen production. Maracuja also provides the skin with linoleic acid, which reduces inflammation to help manage acne, rashes and other skin conditions.

Our Rwandan maracuja oil has nothing added and nothing taken away. It is 100% pure, cold pressed and unrefined from passionfruit seeds. The seeds are collected by local inhabitants and sent to a mill for pressing before being lab tested and sent by air to Shea Terra Organics in its most desired virgin state. This method preserves the fragile vitamins and phytonutrients of the plant. Our Maracuja Oil is not clear, rather it’s golden in color retaining all its beneficial nutrients. Not only does our pure, cold pressed oil work wonders for your skin, it also brings much needed income into the Rwandan community who grow the vitamin c rich passion fruit.

Tammie Umbel, Shea Terra’s founder, has been exploring remote villages throughout Africa for the rarest, power-packed ingredients on the planet since 2000. Shea Terra works with indigenous tribes to discover these potent ancestral plants and minerals and offers these Superhero Ingredients through our concentrated formulas.

Maracuja

The seeds of the passion fruit, called maracuja by some South American tribes, produces a nutrient rich oil which sinks readily into dehydrated skin. Thanks to its high fatty acid content, maracuja oil is able to penetrate skin to deeply moisturize and soothe dry, chapped or cracked skin like no other oil. The high concentrations of lycopene and vitamin C helps improve skin tone and promote collagen production. Maracuja also contains an average of 72% linoleic acid, which reduces inflammation to help manage acne, rashes and other skin conditions. So maracuja is not only well suited for aging skin, it’s also great for those suffering with acne.

Since 2000, Shea Terra has been on a quest for natural beauty wisdom throughout Africa, exploring remote villages, trekking through miles of desert on camel back, and sailing into the depths of Nubia. Our journey has allowed us to tap into a wealth of indigenous knowledge and share these remote beauty secrets with the world. Through our diverse line of skin and hair care products, you can embark on this journey of beauty wisdom with us.

The Cold Pressed Method Preserves Potency

Please be aware that our 100% pure, cold-pressed extra virgin oils are not the same as infused oils or essential oils. Distillation is commonly used to derive essential oils from most plants: flowers, trees, vegetables and nuts. The distillation process involves high temperatures, as well as steam and water or a combination of both. For example, plants are sealed in a specialized still as water and/or steam is forced inside. The pressure squeezes out the oil, which is then condensed and collected.

Unlike essential oil, which is distilled from the seed, our cold-pressed extra virgin oil is the whole, complete oil cold pressed from the seed. The seeds for our oil are wild harvested by local inhabitants and sent to the mill for pressing before being sent by air to Shea Terra in its most desired virgin state. This method preserves the fragile vitamins and phytonutrients of the plant. Our oil is not pressed by hand until we order it, it’s also not refined or deodorized so it has a unique, natural aroma.

The first step to extracting oil is to ground the seeds or nuts into a paste. The paste is then mixed in an effort to make the oils better coagulate. In the cold pressed method, oil extraction relies solely on the pressure. No heat is added to the paste. This differs from heated oil extraction methods, which involve heating the paste. Adding heat to the paste increase the amount of oil produced, but the heating process degrades the quality of the oil. Oil created through heating sometimes loses its color, as well. Cold pressing usually produces lower yield, but higher quality oil. That’s why we prefer the using the cold pressed method for our oils.

Shea Terra is founded by Tammie Umbel, an enterprising super mom, who built the company while homeschooling 14 of her children. Shea Terra grew out of Tammie’s vision to develop natural skin care treatments that would not only heal and beautify those who use them, but also empower and enrich the lives of many impoverished villages and families throughout Africa.

Since early 2000, Shea Terra Organics has been working with cooperatives and conservation groups to source natural, organic ingredients in a sustainable and ethical way that would create economic opportunities and preserve wildlife. We share these indigenous, time-tested healing ingredients through our breadth of product lines, which include facial care, body treatments, hair herbals and maternity & newborn remedies.
