African Marula Oil

A single-ingredient botanical oil obtained from the kernels of the marula fruit (Sclerocarya birrea), a tree indigenous to Southern Africa.

Marula Oil is naturally rich in fatty acids that give it its emollient properties, helping to soften and condition dry-feeling skin.

Ideal for people with dry or dehydrated-feeling skin, dry hands and cuticles, dry areas of the body, or anyone wanting to add a lightweight botanical oil to their skincare routine.

It can also be used sparingly on dry hair and ends.

Botanical oils do not need exaggerated claims to be valuable skincare ingredients.

Marula interests me because of its lipid composition and the elegant way it can add emollience to a skincare routine when skin feels dry. At NNB, I look at an ingredient in terms of its composition, its function and the quality of evidence behind the claims made for it.

Marula Oil is not a miracle ingredient. It is a beautiful botanical oil with a clear purpose.
