Marula Carrier Oil

Plavo Marula Carrier Oil (Sclerocarya birrea) Plavo Marula Carrier Oil is cold-pressed from the kernels of the fruit of the Sclerocarya birrea tree, in many African cultural traditions known as the "Elixir of Youth”. The light, penetrating carrier oil is rich in oleic acid, antioxidants, and vitamins C and E, making it popular in today's skincare and hair care. With a silky feel and nutty scent, Marula Carrier Oil is moisturising but without the heaviness. It is often used to condition dry skin, provide frizz control, and restore a smooth and luminous look, making it a favourite for sensitive, aging, and combination skin.
