Exotic oils
 A Passion Fruit
| In the
west, interest in exotic oils is growing as science begins to validate what has long been known
in other parts of the world: That these oils have therapeutic and
functional properties. Some
are rich in specific essential fatty acids, or high oxidative stability.
Others have rejuvenating and healing properties, natural vitamins or very
specific functions that make them unique. |
