Native to southern Africa, marula is a commonly cultivated fruit that is edible for both humans and animals. The kernels in the center of the fruit yield a potent and nutrient-rich oil, which is why it is a popular skincare ingredient. It also has a floral, yet warm and nutty, smell.
There are a number of nutrients in marula oil that make it a great choice for facial use. It is packed with essential fatty acids, amino acids, and antioxidants that are said to fight free radicals, reduce signs of aging or dark spots, and moisturize the skin. Marula oil is also very lightweight, allowing it to absorb easily and soothe skin without clogging up pores.
Use marula oil on your face by blending a few drops with a carrier oil or your favorite face lotion and massaging it into your skin once or twice per day.
