Marula Oil

Marula oil comes from the kernels of the marula tree’s fruit, found in South Africa. Used by South African women and men for centuries, the magical oil keeps skin hydrated, helps fight acne, softens hair, prevents stretch marks when pregnant and rebuilds brittle nails. The oil is composed of antioxidants, such as vitamins E and C, omega 9-oleic and omega 6-linoleic fatty acids, flavonoids and essential amino acids. Test out this wonder oil on your skin and hair to see and feel the difference.
