Product Description:
Lightest molecular weight and the richest source of Oleic Acid (Omega 9) Pure Marula Oil penetrates deep into the dermis to nourish and soothe reactive skin. It forms a natural lipid barrier to lock in moisture and protect against dryness, pollution and heat from the environment. The anti-oxidative benefits help protect against wrinkles that emerge from free radicals and daily environmental stressors. Leaves skin replenished, luminous and petal soft with a renewed appearance and texture.

Ingredients Details
Sclerocarya Birrea Marula Seed Oil
Common Name(s): Sclerocarya birrea marula seed oil oil
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Nourishes and softens skin through its balanced fatty acid profile, while antioxidant compounds protect against oxidative skin damage.
Why It's Used: Plant oils provide physiologically compatible lipid structures that integrate into the skin barrier and deliver fat-soluble antioxidants directly to skin cells.
How It Works: Fatty acids integrate into stratum corneum lipid lamellae, reinforcing the lipid barrier. antioxidants (tocopherols, carotenoids, polyphenols) neutralize ros through electron donation or singlet oxygen quenching.

SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Vegetable oils are triglyceride matrices where the fatty acid composition determines skin compatibility, barrier function, and comedogenicity. oleic acid-rich oils (>60%) soften barrier lipids and enhance penetration; linoleic acid-rich oils reinforce ceramide-poor stratum corneum; saturated fatty acid-rich oils provide occlusion without skin penetration.
