Formulators Hub Kenya-MARULA OIL 250ML-Nourish. Smooth. Restore. Glow.

Marula Oil (Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil) is a luxurious, lightweight botanical oil extracted from the seeds of the African marula tree. It is naturally rich in fatty acids and antioxidant compounds, making it a premium ingredient for skin, hair and body-care formulations. Formulators Hub Kenya describes its Marula Oil as a pale-yellow to golden, oil-soluble ingredient suitable for use from 1–100%, depending on the formulation. 

• Deep moisturisation: Helps soften dry skin and support moisture retention, making it excellent for dry and dehydrated skin formulations. A clinical study found topical marula oil to have moisturising, hydrating and occlusive effects. 
• Rich in essential fatty acids: Its fatty-acid profile is dominated by oleic acid, with palmitic and linoleic acids also present. These contribute to its emollient and skin-conditioning properties.
• Antioxidant support: Naturally occurring antioxidant compounds, including tocopherols, help make Marula Oil attractive for formulations designed to protect and condition skin exposed to everyday environmental stressors. 
• Skin-softening and smoothing: Gives skin a supple, nourished feel without requiring a heavy, greasy formulation.
• Supports mature-skin formulations: Its moisturising and antioxidant profile makes it a desirable ingredient in facial oils, serums and age-support skincare. 
• Excellent for hair care: Helps condition dry hair, improve softness and add shine, making it suitable for hair oils, masks, conditioners and treatments. 
• Versatile cosmetic ingredient: Can be used in facial oils, serums, creams, lotions, body oils and hair treatments, either alone or blended with other carrier oils and botanical ingredients
