The Surprising Truth About Marula Oil for Your Face: Not a One-Size-Fits-All Solution
Marula oil has been gaining popularity as a cure-all for skin ailments recently, but we're here to tell you that's not necessarily the case.
Marula oil is controversial because it's not the best facial oil, but some big brands out there want you to think differently.
Don't worry, there isn't any sinister marketing lie - the issue is that marula oil's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential isn't as powerful as other oils, plus the high oleic acid level is not balanced, so the pore-clogging risk is higher.
This makes marula oil a nice-to-have for some people but not a ride-or-die oil for most.
In this article, we'll explore why marula oil is only suitable for some and better, non-comedogenic oils they can pursue instead.
TL/DR:
We prefer other oils for face and hair use, but marula oil is best for:
- Body moisturization
- Chapped lips
- Stretch marks
- Brittle nails and cuticles
- People with very dry skin who already know they won't break out
