About:
Marula oil, derived from the nuts of the marula tree native to southern Africa, is a lightweight and nutrient-rich oil known for its moisturizing and nourishing properties. It's rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins, making it beneficial for the skin and hair.
Marula oil contains powerful antioxidants, such as vitamin E and flavonoids, which help protect the skin from environmental stressors like pollution and UV radiation.
Marula Oil by Naturevibe Botanicals is lightweight & non-greasy and used for skin & hair. Also used as a face moisturizer & body oil.
Benefits:
- Moisturizing: Marula oil is rich in fatty acids, particularly oleic acid, which deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin without leaving a greasy residue. It helps to maintain the skin's moisture barrier, making it suitable for dry, dehydrated skin.
- Hair Benefits: Marula oil can also be beneficial for hair care. It moisturizes and nourishes the hair and scalp, helping to improve overall hair health, reduce frizz, and add shine. It can also protect hair from environmental damage and heat styling.
Uses:
- Facial Moisturizer: After cleansing and toning your face, apply a few drops of marula oil to your fingertips and gently massage it into your skin. Focus on areas that are prone to dryness or where you want to target specific concerns like fine lines or wrinkles. It can be used both in the morning and evening as a moisturizer.
- Mix with Moisturizer: You can also mix a few drops of marula oil with your regular moisturizer to boost its hydration properties. This is particularly beneficial during colder months or if you have very dry skin.
- Under Eye Treatment: Pat a small amount of marula oil gently around the delicate skin under your eyes to hydrate and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Facial Massage Oil: Use marula oil as a facial massage oil to promote relaxation and improve circulation. Warm a few drops between your palms and massage it into your skin using upward motions.
- Makeup Primer: Apply a small amount of marula oil to your face before applying makeup to create a smooth, hydrated base. It helps makeup glide on more easily and can give your skin a dewy finish.
- Body Moisturizer: After showering, apply marula oil all over your body to lock in moisture and keep your skin soft and supple.
- Hair Treatment: Apply a few drops of marula oil to damp or dry hair, focusing on the ends to moisturize and tame frizz. You can also use it as an overnight hair treatment by applying a generous amount to your hair and scalp and then washing it out in the morning.
- Cuticle Oil: Massage a drop or two of marula oil into your cuticles to moisturize and soften them.
- Remember that a little goes a long way with marula oil, so start with a small amount and adjust as needed based on your skin or hair type. Additionally, always do a patch test before using any new skincare or haircare product to ensure you don't have any adverse reactions.
