At Inky Ingredients, we’re proud to offer cold-pressed Marula Seed Oil in both organic and conventional formats, giving formulators access to one of nature’s most luxurious and effective moisturisers.
What is Marula Oil?
Marula Oil is derived from the seeds of the marula fruit (Sclerocarya birrea), a tree native to southern Africa and cherished for centuries for its nourishing and healing properties. The oil is cold-pressed from the seeds to preserve its high levels of oleic acid, antioxidants, and vitamins. Its silky feel and fast absorption make it especially popular in warm-weather skincare where heavy oils can feel too rich.
Our cold-pressed method ensures a clean, pure extract that retains its natural colour and skin-loving benefits.
What are the benefits of Marula Oil?
Lightweight and fast-absorbing: Marula Oil delivers deep moisture without a greasy residue, making it ideal for daytime skincare and hot climates.
Antioxidant-rich protection: High in Vitamin E and polyphenols, Marula Oil helps protect the skin from environmental damage and oxidative stress.
Soothing and calming: Naturally anti-inflammatory, it's excellent for calming redness, irritation, or post-sun exposure.
Non-comedogenic: It won’t clog pores, making it suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone and combination skin.
Hair and scalp nourishment: Marula Oil softens hair, reduces frizz, and provides a light protective barrier against UV and heat styling.
How to use Marula Oil
Marula Oil is a flexible ingredient that works beautifully across a range of personal care applications:
-
Facial moisturiser: Apply a few drops directly to clean skin or mix into serum or cream formulations.
-
After-sun treatment: Its soothing, anti-inflammatory properties make it perfect for calming sun-exposed skin.
-
Hair serum: Smooth onto the ends of dry or damp hair to tame frizz and add shine.
