Marula oil

Description

Marula Oil is a luxurious, nutrient-rich oil cold-pressed from the kernels of the Sclerocarya birrea fruit, native to Southern Africa. Highly prized for centuries by local communities, it is renowned for its exceptional moisturizing, healing, and anti-aging properties.

Lightweight and fast-absorbing, Marula Oil is packed with oleic acid, linoleic acid, flavonoids, tocopherols (Vitamin E), and sterols, making it ideal for protecting the skin against environmental stress while deeply nourishing and restoring radiance. It is well-tolerated by all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin, and is also widely used in premium haircare formulations for its ability to smooth frizz and add shine.

Description

Marula Oil – Cold Pressed & Unrefined retains its natural composition and golden hue, with a subtle nutty aroma. It delivers superior hydration, helps reduce trans-epidermal water loss, and promotes skin elasticity. Its high antioxidant content makes it excellent for defending against free radical damage, while its lightweight texture ensures it does not clog pores.

Traditionally used for skin protection in harsh desert climates, today Marula Oil is a sought-after ingredient in serums, creams, lotions, hair oils, and body care formulations.
