Passiflora Edulis Fruit Extract, Sodium Benzoate and Potassium Sorbate

The Plant: Passion Fruit

Passion fruit plants are exuberant vines of the Passifloraceae family. Consumed raw, as juice, ice cream, or confections, passion fruit has been utilized by indigenous peoples since pre-colonial times for its valuable medicinal qualities. Leaves are renowned for soothing and restorative tea infusions, while the fruit pulp is packed with antioxidant bioflavonoids and vital minerals like potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron, along with fair amounts of vitamins C and A.

The Flower of Passion

Native to Brazil, the striking flower inspired early Portuguese observers who saw symbolic elements of Christ's Passion in its structures: the fringe representing the crown of thorns, the three stigmas symbolizing the nails, five stamens representing the wounds, and ten petals reflecting the faithful apostles. Thus, the genus was named Passiflora (flower of passion).
