100% Cold-Pressed Virgin Marula Oil

Product Overview

Known as a "luxury" oil for its exceptional nutrient profile, The Ordinary 100% Cold-Pressed Virgin Marula Oil is a multi-tasking powerhouse for both skin and hair. This rich, antioxidant-dense oil is derived from the kernels of the Marula fruit and remains completely unrefined to preserve its natural potency. High in Oleic and Linoleic acids, it delivers intense surface hydration while visibly restoring radiance to dull, tired complexions. Whether you are looking to rescue dry skin or add a healthy sheen to your hair, this 100% virgin oil provides the essential fatty acids and antioxidants needed for a vibrant, healthy glow.

Key Benefits

• Visibly Restores Radiance: Naturally high antioxidant content helps brighten and revitalize lackluster skin.
• Deep Surface Hydration: Rich in Oleic and Linoleic acids to provide immediate relief for dry and flaky skin.
• Nourishes Hair: Smoothes the hair cuticle to increase softness and add a natural, healthy sheen.
• Antioxidant Defense: Protects the skin from oxidative stress caused by environmental factors.
• 100% Virgin & Unrefined: Preserves the full range of vitamins and minerals found in the Marula kernel.

• Vegan & Cruelty-Free: Formulated ethically with high-purity, plant-derived ingredients.

Key Ingredients and The Science Behind Them

• Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil (Marula Oil): Marula oil is distinct because it contains a higher concentration of antioxidants than many other botanical oils (including Argan). These antioxidants, alongside pro-cyanidin, catechins, and flavonoids, help neutralize free radicals. Its specific ratio of fatty acids makes it highly effective at reinforcing the skin’s moisture barrier.

FAQ

Q: Is Marula Oil better than Argan Oil?
A: Marula oil is generally richer and contains a higher concentration of antioxidants, making it a "luxury" choice for anti-aging and intense dryness, whereas Argan is often lighter.

Q: Will it clog my pores?
A: Marula oil has a low to moderate comedogenic rating. It is safe for most skin types, but those with very oily or acne-prone skin should patch test first.

Q: Does it have a scent?
A: Since it is unrefined and 100% pure, it has a natural, subtle nutty aroma. This is a sign of its raw quality and is not a fragrance additive.

Q: Can I use this with Retinol?
A: Yes! It is an excellent choice to layer over Retinol in the evening to soothe the skin and provide extra hydration.
