The marula is treasured for skin care around the world, and every part of it is put to use in some way, from the fruit and kernel to the skin and the bark. The oil is high in oleic acid and antioxidants, with palmitic, linoleic and stearic acids, and it is said to leave skin feeling soft, hydrated and nourished.
