We all want products that have been proven and preferably are all natural because they usually work. The Marula tree found in Central and Southern Africa is loaded with vitamins and minerals and is a fantastic add to your beauty regimen.
This oil is made from the kernels inside the marula fruit which aids in the treatment of dry, chapped skin. It hydrates the skin leaving it smooth while healing and preventing scars. Marula oil is full of oleic acid, which is an essential part to having healthy skin. Now oleic acid is found in our skin, making it supple and soft.
So here’s another nugget of information: Avocado oil, olive oil, sweet almond oil, shea butter and mango butter are all high in oleic acid.) Having a product that’s great for hydration and healing properties, lends the question, is it good for my hair as well? And the answer is yes! Marula oil is great for dry damaged and fragile hair. And don’t forget your scalp!
The medical properties of this tree range from treating dysentery to insect bites. Among the Zulu people, the tree is a symbol of fertility. The female marula tree produces more fruit than all other trees. So it's also know as the the “marriage tree” and used in a cleansing ritual before marriage. Rumor has it that when women eat marula fruit, they’re more likely to get pregnant. When the men come home from work, they’re greeted with marula beer. And when the time comes for them to return for work, their wives are pregnant. Oh buddy!!
