Pure, cold-pressed marula oil from wild-harvested, hand-cracked nuts. It is quickly absorbed by the skin to moisturise and relax – especially if applied with a massage by your loved one. It is naturally rich in vitamin E, known for its anti-aging properties which also acts as a natural preservative, giving it a shelf-life of at least two years without any additives. This oil is nourishing and hydrating and naturally softens and revitalises the skin.
Rich in natural antioxidants, oleic acid and Vitamin E, marula oil also has excellent properties as a tissue oil and African women have traditionally used it during pregnancy to avoid stretch marks.
Apply to the skin on your body and face.Suitable for all skin types. Great as baby oil. Leaves no residue and may help in reducing stretch marks.

About Swazi Secrets:
Part of Swazi Secrets' marula oil production has been certified organic by Ecocert since 2007. Working with wild harvested kernels from 2,600 rural women, Swazi secrets encourage them to undertake the training and follow the procedures necessary to ensure that their kernels are certified organic. Part of that incentive is the payment of a 12% premium on the price of certified organic kernels. The percentage of certified organic suppliers increases each year.
