Marula Oil

Marula Oil is an all-natural, cold pressed, highly nutritious, very light textured oil. It is naturally soothing, fast-absorbing and suitable for all skin types including reactive and sensitive. Marula Oil is hand harvested from the exotic fruit's seed kernels of bio dynamic and drought resistant Marula trees, indigenous to Southern Africa and Madagascar.

Marula Oil contains a large proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids and natural antioxidants which make the oil very stable. The fatty acid composition of marula oil includes: Mono-unsaturated fatty acids: Oleic acid (70-78 %) Polyunsaturated fatty acids: Linoleic acid (4.0-7.0 %), Alpha-linolenic acid (0.1-0.7 %) Saturated fatty acids: Palmitic acid (9-12 %), Stearic acid (5.0-8.0 %) and Arachidonic acid (0.3-0.7 %).

Other components include: tocopherols, sterols and flavonoids with antioxidant action, procyanidin, galattotannin and catechins are also found in Marula Oil.
