Marula Oil IS A Skin SAVER
We've come a long way in thinking that oily products result in oily skin (it doesn't). In fact, we tend to cover the benefits of oils in every which way. One of the under-the-radar ones, marula oil, is quite the do-it-all product when it comes to skin health. There are so many benefits of marula oil. From revitalizing skin to preventing premature aging to reducing blemishes, scars, and age spots to providing full hydration for skin, it would be hard to think of what can't it do. When massaged onto skin and joints, the oil can reduce inflammation, reduce oxidative stress, and can work wonders on hair, beards, cuticles, and minor burns. Its potent amount of antioxidants, amino acids, and essential fatty acids make it a powerhouse for skin health.
WHAT EXACTLY IS IT?
It's extracted from the nut oil of the marula tree, native to Africa, and has a rich supply of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, as well as tocopherols, vitamin C, flavonoids, sterols, and other antioxidants. Relatively lightweight and non-irritating, the oil can be easily absorbed into the skin and hydrates, nourishes, and strengthens skin without leaving a greasy film. Ranging from a clear to light yellow tint with a slight aroma, it has a shelf life of two to three years. Like all oils, it should be stored at room temperature to avoid oxidation.
