Marula Oil
INCI: sclerocarya birrea seed oil
Marula oil, from the South African marula fruit kernel, is prized for an exceptionally high antioxidant content (vitamin C precursors, tocopherols, sterols) in a remarkably lightweight, fast-absorbing texture. Its oleic-acid-rich profile mimics human sebum components, giving slip and nourishment without heaviness. At 2–10% in serums or pure, it suits normal, dry, and even combination skin, softening fine dryness lines and protecting the barrier. Its oxidative stability outperforms many delicate oils, keeping it fresh longer. Popularised by African beauty traditions and now standard in premium facial oils — an elegant daily moisturiser-finishing drop.
