Marula oil is a light, nutrient-rich oil from the marula tree’s nuts, native to southern Africa. It’s packed with essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins C and E. This makes it popular in beauty and skincare. The oil is cold-pressed to keep its benefits. With moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties, it’s used in facial oils, lotions, and hair treatments. Its non-greasy nature suits all skin types, hydrating without clogging pores.
The marula oil industry is booming, thanks to the rising demand for natural and organic products. As awareness of synthetic ingredients’ harms increases, more people are turning to plant-based oils like marula oil for nourishment and hydration. The clean beauty trend, emphasizing transparency in sourcing and formulation, also boosts its popularity. Furthermore, interest in African botanicals and traditional remedies highlights marula oil as a unique, effective ingredient with beauty and cultural benefits. This trend is supported by the growth of e-commerce, making marula oil products more accessible.
