What the gurus are saying

The fatty acid profile in marula oil, particularly its high omega-9 content, earns praise for deeply nourishing very dry skin and supporting a healthy moisture barrier without feeling heavy or leaving skin feeling greasy. Gurus note it feels pleasant to apply and works especially well for menopausal dryness. The main thing to keep in mind is that it's a rich oil, so those with oily or acne-prone skin may want to patch-test first or use sparingly.
