Marula oil, certified organic

Organic, cold-pressed marula oil is expressed from the kernels of Sclerocarya birrea, a tree native to Southern Africa. Loved for its light, quickly absorbed feel, it brings a soft slip to skincare and haircare without a heavy finish. Rich in naturally occurring antioxidants (including tocopherols) and a balanced fatty-acid profile, it’s an easy, versatile addition to serums, creams, balms and hair oils.

Sourcing & sustainability

Our marula oil is organically produced and responsibly sourced from community harvests in Eswatini (Southern Africa). The marula—often called the elephant tree—is culturally significant and long-lived. Fruit collection and kernel oil extraction provide supplementary income in rural areas and encourage sustainable, tree-friendly harvesting. By valuing the fruit and its by-products (juice, jams, liqueur; kernels for oil), these programmes support local livelihoods and conservation of an indigenous species.

Skincare uses

Lightweight, non-greasy moisture: Absorbs quickly to leave skin soft and comfortable.

Antioxidant support: Naturally contains tocopherols; often chosen to help protect formulas from feeling dull or heavy.

Blendable: Pairs well with other oils and actives in face oils, creams and balms.

Haircare uses

Shine & manageability: Adds gloss and smooth slip without weighing hair down.

Scalp comfort: Suitable for lightweight scalp oils and pre-shampoo treatments.

Additional uses

Versatile carrier: Works in serums, lotions and masks; easy to customise for sensory and season.

Note: Individual responses may vary, and a patch test is recommended before use, especially for those with known nut allergies or skin sensitivities.
