What is marula oil?
Marula oil is extracted from the kernels of the Sclerocarya birrea (Marula trees), which are native to Sub-Saharan Africa. Cold-pressed, the oil has a light-yellow hue and a pleasant nutty aroma. The marula tree's oil and nuts have been used for medicinal and curative purposes forover 10,000 years. African communities referred to the nut as the "Food of Kings"; and "Elixir ofYouth"; for a good reason. Marula oil soothes, softens, and protects-- but the skin benefits don'tend there.
What are the benefits of marula oil?
Marula oil staves off free radical damage caused by sun exposure and pollutants, thanks to itsrich antioxidant content of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and epicatechin. This emollient is packed with nourishing oleic and linoleic fatty acids that help hydrate and lock in moisture for softer and smoother skin. Further, marula oil boasts anti-aging properties. Studies show that it inhibits theenzymes that break down elastin and collagen-- the structural proteins that keep skin supple and youthful. In addition to replenishing dry and flaky skin, it is anti-inflammatory and can minimize the symptoms of eczema.
