100% Organic Marula Oil

Marula Oil is a cold-pressed oil from the kernels of the African marula tree, rich in antioxidants, vitamin E and oleic acid. It deeply hydrates dry, thirsty and mature skin, softens the look of fine lines and helps defend against environmental stress — yet absorbs quickly and leaves a silky, non-greasy finish. It also smooths and adds shine to hair and tames frizz.

Cold-pressed from the kernels of the marula tree native to Africa. Marula oil is biomimetic with useful occlusive (moisture-sealing) properties — see the clinical review. For a damaged barrier, use it alongside a dedicated barrier cream rather than on its own.
