About this product
High summer, the air heavy, and the last thing your skin wants is a heavy oil. Marula is made for that afternoon: a dry oil that absorbs into the skin extremely quickly, almost instantly, and leaves it feeling soft rather than greasy.
It is cold-pressed from the kernels of Sclerocarya birrea, organically produced in South Africa. 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. It also has a remarkably long shelf life.
Details

How to use
Use it as a fast-absorbing, non-greasy facial oil, especially for oily skin or in summer heat, or add it to an oil-based serum or lotion to speed the absorption of the other emollients. It is not a massage oil: it disappears too quickly to give any slip.
A light, quick-drinking oil for warm days and bare skin.
