This week we have added a new product from the Acure Organics skin care range, their Marula Oil. It's a 100% pure oil, made from wildcrafted ingredients. The oil is extracted from the nuts of the marula tree and is processed in South Africa as a part of the Marula Project which is giving much needed income to the communities where the marula tree grows. The very low rainfall in the region and extended hours of bright sunshine create an environment like no other on the planet for the marula tree to thrive and bear fruit and nuts with high levels of antioxidants, nutrients and minerals.

In South Africa, the marula oil is used by women to protect their skin from the harsh & dry weather they face each season. As it has become popular, it has been scientifically studied in the west to isolate the details of its healing properties. Marula oil contains high levels of powerful antioxidants and has high levels of minerals, nutrients and essential fatty acids. It contains Vitamin C (four times as much as an orange), Vitamin E along with many amino acids.

This combination has been tested to show signs of reversal of sun damage, boost cellular activity in the skin along with hydration and repairing of skin cells. It is fast absorbing and has also been shown to reduce redness in the skin. It contains anti-microbial properties, and as such, is self preserving.

Marula oil can be used in the same way as the Acure Argan Oil is used, as a natural moisturiser & healing treatment oil. Apply small amounts of the oil to dry skin. It can be used as a part of a healing massage in larger quantities. Not only suitable for the skin, marula oil can be applied to the ends of your hair to treat split ends. You can also use it on your hands to sooth dry cuticles and help to heal scars and stretch marks. It is suitable for all skin types, but especially suited to aging, undernourished and dry skin.

We have seen other brands of marula oil sell for over $100 in Australia. The Acure Marula Oil is just $24.95 for 30ml and you'll find it in our natural skin care section or by clicking the BUY NOW button below.
