New Roots: Organic Marula Seed Oil

Cold-pressed from the kernels of hand-harvested marula fruit, South African–sourced marula kernel oil delivers a mosaic of nutrients that will make your skin glow.

Archaeological evidence has the marula tree being used as a source of nutrition and healing dating back as long as ten thousand years. The succulent fruit, kernels, and leaves have been a mainstay of South African civilization. It has also garnished folkloric status for the effect it has on elephant behaviour when they feast on its fallen, fermented fruit.

Marula oil has a fine molecular structure, which lends it a light texture that penetrates the skin to strengthen its lipid layer. Once the lipid layer is quenched, it can lock down moisture to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also improves the skin’s elasticity to retain a youthful appearance with each and every facial expression.

Succulent skin is also more resistant to environmental toxins and fluctuations in temperature and humidity. As a rich source of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals, its antioxidant action helps protect sensitive skin from free radicals and UV exposure.

It applies well to skin, with a nongreasy feel suitable for all skin types—perhaps even yours…

Directions: Place 5–8 drops in your hand and gently massage the oil on your face and neck. Larger body parts may require more oil. Best applied on moist skin, such as following a shower or bath.
