DESCRIPTION
Traditionally known as “The Food of Kings”, Marula Carrier Oil is cold pressed from the kernels of the Sclerocarya birrea fruit of South Africa and is refined for cosmetic purposes. With its high oleic acid content and naturally present tocopherols, Marula Oil (Cosmetic Grade) is well-suited for applications targeting skin softness, enhanced spreadability, and oxidative stability. The refined variety has a light-yellow color and a clean, neutral scent, contributing a neutral base in fragranced or active-loaded formulas.
Formulators choose Marula Oil for its luxurious texture, rapid absorption, and versatility. Its non-greasy finish contributes to the overall sensory profile of premium skincare and haircare lines.

- Face Care Products: Apply Marula Oil at 5–15% of the total formulation in facial oils, moisturizers, and emulsions to promote skin softness and improve product glide.
- Hair and Scalp Care: For conditioners, leave-ins, and scalp treatments, 2%-10% Marula Carrier Oil is recommended to reduce frizz and improve overall hair.
- Body Lotions and Creams: Add at 5–30% in body care formulations to improve emollience and spreadability while maintaining a dry-touch finish.
