What is Marula Oil made from?
100% pure Sclerocarya birrea (marula) seed oil, cold pressed from the kernels — no additives or dilution.

Is Marula Oil safe to use directly on skin?
Yes. Unlike concentrated essential oils, Marula Oil is a carrier oil and is not classified as hazardous, so it can be used neat on skin and hair as well as blended into formulations.

What does it smell like?
A mild, characteristic nutty odour — light enough that it won't overpower fragrance oils or essential oils blended with it.

What can I use Marula Oil for?
Facial oils, moisturisers, hair and scalp treatments, lip balms, body butters, massage oils, soap making, and as a carrier oil for diluting essential oil blends.

Is this oil IFRA certified?
No IFRA certificate applies — Marula Oil is a carrier/base oil rather than a fragrance ingredient, so IFRA certification isn't issued for it.

Does this oil come with a Certificate of Analysis?
Yes — it's batch-tested for microbial purity and heavy metals, with a Certificate of Analysis, Technical Data Sheet and Safety Data Sheet all available on request.

How should I store it?
Keep the bottle tightly closed, in a cool, dry place away from direct light and heat. If stored for more than 24 months, check quality before use.
