Marula oil is extracted from the nuts of the fruit of the marula tree (Sclerocarya birrea), a tree native to southern Africa. This oil has a long history in Africa, where it has been used for centuries for its cosmetic and medicinal properties.
 
 Today, marula oil is becoming increasingly popular in cosmetics. It is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamin E and antioxidants, making it an excellent moisturizer for skin and hair. It is also known to help reduce the signs of skin aging.
 
Finally, it should be noted that marula oil is produced sustainably and ethically by many producers in Africa, making it an increasingly popular choice for environmentally and ethically conscious consumers.
