Marula Oil - origin
The Marula tree (Sclerocarya birrea) is native to Southern Africa and thrives in semi-arid regions. It produces small, yellow fruit, and the oil is extracted from the seeds (kernels) inside. The Marula tree has been cherished by African communities for centuries, both for its fruit and for its oil, which is known for its hydrating and healing properties.
Cultivation & Yield
Marula Oil is extracted by cold pressing the kernels of the Marula fruit. This process ensures that the oil retains all of its natural nutrients, including antioxidants, fatty acids, and vitamins. The Marula tree produces fruit annually, and each tree can yield a significant amount of seeds, which are processed to create the oil used in cosmetics and skincare.
