A facial oil defined by its fatty acids
The brand states this marula oil naturally contains 70 to 78% oleic acid and 4 to 7% linoleic acid. That fatty-acid profile gives it a light texture, and the manufacturer describes it as moisturising and smoothing without causing irritation. It also notes the oil carries phytonutrients, minerals and antioxidants, and the cold-press method is used to help keep them intact.
Certified organic and free from common allergens
The manufacturer states the oil is USDA Organic, certified by MOSA, and labels it cruelty free, soy free and gluten free. Because the bottle holds a single ingredient, it is easy to check against any personal sensitivities before you buy.
A small bottle that goes a long way
Only a few drops are used per application, so the 30 ml (1 fl oz) bottle suits regular use on the face and neck. The pack measures about 11.9 x 2.9 x 2.8 cm, compact enough for a bathroom shelf or wash bag.
How to use
Smooth 2 to 3 drops over the face and neck.
Before you choose
This is a pure plant oil rather than a cream or lotion, and it offers no sun protection. For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes; if the oil gets into them, flush gently with water. Stop using it if irritation develops, and keep out of reach of children. US-market product: packaging and label wording may differ from UK versions.
