Marula oil has traditionally been used by women in northern Namibia for generations because of its skin smoothing and moisturising properties - and now it's hitting the mainstream. Marula oil is hand harvested by women in the villages, who use it for its medicinal benefits, in particular protecting the skin and hair from the harsh, dry weather conditions.

Marula oil is traditionally also used in cosmetics, in food as a cooking oil and as a meat preservative and to treat leather. Contains a large proportion of monounsaturated fatty acids and natural antioxidants which make the oil very stable The oil is extracted from the plum-like fruit of a marula tree, which is widely regarded as the spiritual centre in villages. Whilst a number of different products are made from the fruit, it’s the oil that has given the tree its special status Marula oil is a multifunctional anti-ageing facial oil that hydrates, protects, and rejuvenates the skin.
