Your Anti-Aging Ritual

Marula oil is one of nature’s most prized beauty oils, and using it correctly ensures your skin reaps all its anti-aging benefits. Here’s your guide to youthful, radiant skin:

Step 1: Prepare Your Canvas

Begin with freshly cleansed skin. Use your regular cleanser to remove makeup, dirt, and impurities. Pat your face dry with a clean towel, leaving skin slightly damp for optimal absorption.

Step 2: Apply to Damp Skin

Dispense 2-4 drops of Marula Oil Serum into your palm. Warm the serum between your hands for a few seconds – this enhances absorption and creates a luxurious sensorial experience.

Step 3: Press and Smooth

Gently press and smooth the serum onto your face and neck using upward motions. Focus on areas prone to dryness or showing signs of ageing – around the eyes (avoiding direct contact), forehead, and smile lines. The lightweight texture absorbs surprisingly quickly for an oil-based serum.

Step 4: Layer or Use Alone

You can use Marula Oil Serum alone as your moisturiser (especially if you have very dry skin), or layer it under or over your regular moisturiser depending on your skin’s needs. In colder months, many people use it as their final step to seal in hydration.

Step 5: Morning and Evening

Apply morning and evening for best results. Morning application provides all-day nourishment and protection. Evening use supports overnight skin repair and renewal.

When to Use It

Ideal for twice-daily use, especially during colder months when skin needs extra protection. Perfect for dry, sensitive, or mature skin types seeking gentle yet effective anti-aging care.

How Long It Lasts: A 30ml bottle provides 2-3 months of daily – luxury skincare at an accessible price.

Your Transformation Timeline

Immediate: Skin feels instantly softer and more comfortable. That tight, dry feeling melts away within moments of application.

Week 1: Visible improvements in skin texture. Rough patches smooth out, and your complexion looks more refined and nourished.

Week 2-4: Fine lines appear softer as skin’s moisture levels improve. That healthy, youthful glow begins to emerge. Skin looks more plump and resilient.

Month 2+: With consistent use, skin maintains its youthful appearance. The antioxidant protection helps defend against new signs of ageing whilst nourishing deeply.

Nature’s anti-aging secret works gently but effectively. Patience reveals beautiful results.

Pro Tips for Youthful Skin

  • Use gentle upward motions to support skin elasticity
  • Mix 1 drop with your foundation for a dewy, youthful finish
  • Apply extra to very dry areas like around the nose or chin
  • Store away from direct sunlight to preserve potency

Perfect Pairings

Layer Marula Oil Serum over Hyaluronic Acid Serum for the ultimate hydration-meets-nourishment combination. The hyaluronic acid provides water-based hydration, whilst marula oil seals it in and adds anti-aging benefits.

For brightening plus nourishment, apply Vitamin C Serum first, wait 1-2 minutes, then seal with Marula Oil Serum.

Nature’s Anti-Aging Treasure

Marula oil has been used for centuries in Africa for its remarkable skin benefits. Now you can experience this luxurious oil in a carefully crafted serum that delivers visible anti-aging results:

Marula Oil (Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil) – The Star Ingredient

Extracted from the kernels of marula fruit trees native to Southern Africa, this precious oil is naturally rich in antioxidants, omega fatty acids, and amino acids. It’s lightweight yet deeply nourishing – a rare combination in plant oils.

What it does: Provides powerful antioxidant protection against free radicals and environmental damage, delivers omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids for skin barrier support, naturally contains vitamin C for brightening benefits, rich in amino acids that support collagen production, absorbs quickly without greasiness, and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The science: Marula oil contains up to four times more vitamin C than oranges (naturally occurring in the oil itself). The high oleic acid content makes it exceptionally moisturising whilst remaining stable and resistant to oxidation.

Apricot Kernel Oil (Prunus Armeniaca) – The Gentle Base

Cold-pressed from apricot kernels, this lightweight oil is rich in vitamins A and E. It’s particularly beneficial for dry and sensitive skin, providing nourishment without irritation.

What it does: Provides gentle, non-irritating moisture, rich in vitamin E for additional antioxidant protection, contains vitamin A (retinol’s gentler cousin) for skin renewal, helps improve skin tone and texture, perfect for sensitive skin that reacts to heavier oils, and enhances marula oil’s absorption and effectiveness.

Vitamin E (Tocopherol) – The Protector

A powerful antioxidant that works synergistically with marula oil’s natural antioxidants to provide comprehensive protection against environmental damage and premature ageing.

What it does: Neutralises free radicals that cause premature ageing, protects skin from environmental stressors, supports skin healing and repair, helps preserve the oil’s freshness and potency, and works with vitamins C and A for enhanced anti-aging benefits.

Why This Formula Works

This isn’t just marula oil – it’s a carefully balanced blend that enhances marula’s benefits whilst ensuring the formula suits dry and sensitive skin perfectly. The apricot kernel oil provides a gentle base that allows better absorption, whilst vitamin E amplifies the antioxidant protection.

The result? A lightweight, fast-absorbing serum that delivers the luxury of pure marula oil in a formula that works beautifully for everyday use.

Who This Serum Is For

Perfect For Especially Beneficial For
  • Dry skin craving deep nourishment
  • Sensitive skin that reacts to harsh products
  • Mature skin showing signs of ageing

Marula vs Other Oils

Marula oil stands apart from other face oils due to its unique fatty acid profile. It’s high in oleic acid (like argan oil) but more stable and less prone to oxidation. It’s lightweight (like jojoba) but more nourishing. And it’s rich in antioxidants (like rosehip) but without the strong scent.

The result? You get luxury oil benefits – deep nourishment, anti-aging protection, beautiful glow – without the typical drawbacks of face oils like greasiness, heaviness, or instability.

What makes marula oil special for anti-aging?

Marula oil contains naturally high levels of antioxidants (including vitamin C and E), omega fatty acids, and amino acids – all crucial for fighting visible signs of ageing. Its unique fatty acid profile makes it exceptionally stable and effective, whilst remaining lightweight enough for daily use.

Will this make my skin greasy?

Despite being an oil-based serum, marula oil is surprisingly lightweight and absorbs quickly. Start with 2-3 drops – this is often enough for your entire face. If you’re using too much, you’ll notice greasiness. Less is more with this concentrated formula.

Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?

Yes – marula oil is generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin. It’s gentle, non-irritating, and free from common sensitisers. However, as with any new product, patch test first if you have very reactive skin. Apply a small amount to your inner wrist and wait 24 hours.

How do I layer this with other serums?

Apply water-based serums (hyaluronic acid, vitamin C) first on damp skin. Wait 1-2 minutes for absorption, then apply Marula Oil Serum. The oil seals in your serums whilst adding its own anti-aging benefits. Think: water-based first, oil-based last.

Can I use this instead of moisturiser?

Many people with dry skin use Marula Oil Serum as their sole moisturiser, especially at night. It provides deep nourishment and creates a protective barrier. However, if your skin still feels tight, you can layer a lightweight moisturiser over it or use both depending on your skin’s needs.

Will this help with fine lines and wrinkles?

Yes – the combination of antioxidants, omega fatty acids, and amino acids in marula oil supports skin’s natural repair processes and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines. Results develop over 4-8 weeks of consistent use. It won’t erase deep wrinkles (nothing topical can), but it will help skin look smoother, more plump, and more youthful.

Can I use this under makeup?

Absolutely. Apply 2 drops to clean skin, wait 2 minutes for absorption, then apply your makeup as usual. Many people find makeup applies more smoothly and looks more radiant over this serum. You can even mix 1 drop with your foundation for extra glow.

How is this different from Daily Glow Oil?

Daily Glow Oil contains six seed oils for broad-spectrum nourishment. Marula Oil Serum focuses on marula’s specific anti-aging benefits with apricot kernel oil as a gentle base. Marula is more targeted for anti-aging and dry/sensitive skin, whilst Daily Glow Oil offers all-around nourishment for most skin types.

Will this clog my pores?

Marula oil is non-comedogenic, meaning it’s unlikely to clog pores. Its lightweight texture and quick absorption make it suitable even for combination skin. However, if you’re very acne-prone, start with evening-only use and monitor how your skin responds.

How should I store this serum?

Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Marula oil is exceptionally stable (thanks to its high oleic acid content), but proper storage ensures maximum potency. Keep the lid tightly closed between uses. Use within 12 months of opening.

Can I use this if I’m pregnant or breastfeeding?

These are pure plant oils with naturally occurring nutrients – no added active ingredients or essential oils. Generally considered safe, but we always recommend consulting your healthcare provider before introducing new skincare during pregnancy or nursing.

How long will one bottle last?

With daily use (2-3 drops per application), a 30ml bottle typically lasts 2-3 months.
