The Miracle of Marula: for centuries, African women have revered the restorative benefits of Marula oil, yielding readiant, glowing skin.

Wild harvested by women in East Africa, this rare “miracle” oil is cold pressed from individually selected wild Marula nuts to produce an omega-rich oil with exceptional moisturizing and healing properties. 

Touted as a miracle oil for healing radiation damaged skin, it's been recently featured in Vogue, The New York Times, People Magazines in addition to many others.
Better absorption and longer-lasting hydration assists in providing superior antioxidant protection against signs of aging. Light and powerful, this highly prized oil leaves skin soft and supple with increased elasticity and firmness for healthy, beautiful and age defying radiance.
