9 Marula Oil Treatments That Will Change Your Skin, Hair and NailsAntioxidant-rich and packed with omega fatty acids, marula may be the only oil you need |
You're probably familiar with the beauty oil boom and its most popular ingredient: argan. (Think Moroccanoil for hair, Josie Maran for skin.) Now, however, there's an oil that may oust argan from the top spot. It's called marula oil, and it's showing up in everything from skin care to shampoo.
We first spotted marula oil in its most basic form at a trade show three years ago. A little glass bottle of the oil (now known simply as Marula) made a big splash because of its antioxidant power and omega richness, which are more than double its cousin argan. Aside from that, the oils are similar: Both are derived from tree nuts in Africa, and both are easily absorbed by the skin for lots of hydration without a greasy feel.
At the moment, however, marula is the rising star -- with products across all categories, and even entire lines, being devoted to the ingredient. It's surprisingly easy to integrate it into every step of your beauty routine for shinier hair, glowing skin and stronger nails. Even argan fans may find themselves converting.
