Marula Oil Refined
Product Name: Marula Oil Refined
Botanic Name: Sclerocarya Birrea
Description: Marula oil is a lightweight and antioxidant-rich oil that hails from the nuts and kernels found in marula trees. The light-yellow oil has a faint nutty scent, is fast-absorbing, and contains fatty acids that have moisturizing and emollient properties. Considered one of Africa's botanical treasures, the Marula tree has a long history in African culture. The raw materials for the oil are harvested and pressed by community collectives of mostly women. Semi-solid at ambient temperatures, immersion in a hot-water bath will bring it to a liquid state.
