MARULA OIL SKIN BENEFITS
Rich in unsaturated oleic acid: Oleic acid is an omega-9 fatty acid that sinks much deeper into the skin than many other moisturizers. The result is more intense, longer-lasting moisture. A 2002 study, for example, found that oleic acid enhanced penetration more than synthetic penetration enhancers. Clinical tests have found that marula increases the skin’s ability to hold onto moisture.
Rich in antioxidants: Marula, like most natural oils, is rich in protective and anti-aging antioxidants.
Great source of vitamin C: Vitamin C is a powerhouse ingredient for skin, helping to protect from environmental stressors, firm and tighten, as well as brighten skin.
Source of vitamin E tocopherols: These fat-soluble compounds protect, and provide a radiant look to the skin.
Stable: Because of its unique makeup, marula is a stable oil, and easily resists oxidation, which means it will last on your shelf. They say it’s 10 times more stable than olive oil.
Nice feel: Marula oil is medium rich and silky to the touch, making it ideal as a massage oil. African women have long used it to massage babies and as a body lotion.
