Rich in Vitamin C and nutritious essential fatty acids, this precious harvest from the Amazon awakens skin for a healthy, radiant complexion. When infused in tarte formulations, it provides instant hydration to quench dry skin. Pure maracuja balances oil production to restore skin balance, decrease skin inflammation, moisturize and improve skin softness for a firmer, brighter, smoother looking complexion.

Known as puro milagro or the pure miracle™, only one crop of this rare Amazonian fruit is sustainably harvested each year by Amazonian women affiliated with our tarte cooperative in the Rainforest. The women climb down the river banks to collect the precious fruit. Piece by piece, they sustainably pick and extract this nutrient-rich seeded pulp from each individual maracuja fruit by hand. This naturally harvested treasure, referred to as the “alma” or “soul” of the maracuja fruit is then hand pressed through a unique ritual without the use of heat to guarantee the maximum amount of nutritious essential fatty acids and vitamins.
