Kupanda Mfula Marula Oil (Refined)
- INCI Name
- Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil
Marula trees are widely distributed throughout the semi-arid savannahs of eastern and southern Africa. Pollination of the tree’s delightful flowers produces one of Africa’s botanical gems – the marula fruit, which ripens from January until April. The size of golf-balls, ripe marula fruit consists of an exotic tasting juicy white pulp, which is used to produce alcoholic beverages. Enclosed within the pulp is a tightly-held brown-colored nut, which consists of 2-3 fragile, yet prized marula kernels. In southern Africa, Kupanda Mfula Marula Oil (Refined) has been used as an emollient for babies, and in body lotions for face, feet and hands to address dry and/or cracking skin. The word ‘mfula’ means to extract natural radiance in the African language of Chichewa.
