Product Details

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Lightweight Nourishment: Marula Carrier Oil Cosmetic Grade – Refined offers a light, fast-absorbing texture that provides deep hydration without a greasy after-feel. Suitable for both rinse-off and leave-on applications.

Skin-Friendly Lipids: Rich in oleic acid and naturally occurring antioxidants, this oil helps maintain skin softness and smoothness, supporting overall skin conditioning. It is especially recommended in serums, creams, balms, and emulsions for its silky finish.

Hair Care Essential: In hair formulations, Marula Oil (Cosmetic Grade) enhances manageability, reduces frizz, and improves the feel of dry, overprocessed strands.

Refined for Cosmetic Uses: This refined variety of Marula Carrier Oil is deodorized and filtered for a neutral aroma and stable consistency, making it a highly compatible base for a wide range of personal care products.


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.


DIRECTIONS AND SUGGESTED USAGE

  • 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.
  • Massage Products: Use at 10–100% in massage blends and body oils for lightweight hydration and smooth application.
