Marula oil, certified organic

Organic, cold‑pressed marula oil is extracted from the kernels of the marula fruit (Sclerocarya birrea), native to southern Africa. Traditionally used in indigenous beauty practices, this oil has become a popular ingredient in natural skincare and haircare formulations. Its nutrient‑rich composition, high in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins, is highly regarded for its light, non‑greasy texture and deep absorption, making it a versatile addition to many cosmetic products.

Skincare Uses

Lightweight and non‑greasy: Marula oil is often included in skincare products for its quick absorption and light texture, helping to moisturise without clogging pores.

Rich in antioxidants: With a high level of antioxidants, including vitamin E, it is said to support skin radiance and help protect against environmental stressors.

Nourishing and hydrating: Its balanced blend of essential fatty acids is often used to help maintain skin moisture and promote a smooth, supple appearance.

Haircare Uses

Enhancing hair texture: Frequently used in haircare formulations, marula oil is appreciated for its ability to add shine and improve manageability without weighing hair down.

Scalp nourishment: Its light, non‑greasy nature makes it a popular choice for scalp treatments, where it is said to support a balanced and healthy scalp.

Additional Uses

Versatile ingredient: Marula oil is often used as a carrier oil in various cosmetic formulations, including serums, lotions, and hair masks, due to its excellent blendability with other natural ingredients.

Customisable application: Its nourishing profile makes it a favoured ingredient for enhancing the overall sensory experience of skincare and haircare products.

Note: Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is recommended before use, especially for those with known nut allergies or skin sensitivities.
