Marula Oil: It’s Not Just For Your Face

You may have noticed Marula oil in your favorite luxe face serum or cream. It’s one of those multi-tasking ingredients that sound too good to be true: high in antioxidants and amino acids, deeply hydrating, does not clog pores, non-greasy, and has anti-inflammatory effects. What doesn’t it do? But golden-hued Marula oil, which is extracted from the Sclerocarya Birrea seed, native to the continent of Africa, is not only the premier ingredient for your skincare routine, but also what the doctor ordered as your body goes through drastic changes during and after pregnancy. 
 

What it is:

Marula oil is a rare super ingredient that benefits all types of skin, from acne-prone to dry, from younger to older. This is because it is naturally high in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and amino acids, which work together to protect, strengthen, and hydrate your skin without clogging pores, without feeling (or looking) greasy, and without irritating even the most sensitive skin. Marula oil is even richer in antioxidants than dark chocolate, matcha, or black tea! Continuous topical usage of Marula oil supports skin cellular renewal, improves skin elasticity, and combats inflammation in the skin.

How do we use it?

While it’s typically found in luxury facial care products, we’ve incorporated it as a top active ingredient in our Golden Belly Serum, formulated with 13 potent and safe botanical oils and extracts to significantly reduce the appearance of stretch marks and signs of inflammation (such as redness or blotchiness), and improve skin elasticity as the body changes. One of these remarkable ingredients is Centella Asiatica, which is a medicinal herb rich in vitamins C, A, B1, B2, niacin, and carotene that works in synergy with Marula oil to help fight premature aging and combat stretch marks.
