Marula oil is derived from the nuts of the marula tree, Sclerocarya birrea, which is native to Southern Africa and parts of West Africa.

The marula tree has been significant in African culture for centuries, valued for its fruits, nuts, and oil. Traditionally, marula oil was used by African women to moisturize and protect their skin and hair. It was also used in rituals and as a food source.

Rich in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and vitamins, marula oil has gained global recognition for its skin and hair care benefits. Its lightweight, non-greasy texture makes it a popular ingredient in modern cosmetics.
