Drunk Elephant Virgin Marula Oil Review




What is Marula Oil?

Marula Oil comes from South Africa, from the nut of the Marula trees. Its often referred to as a 'Miracle Oil', because of its easing property from the chapped, dry skin and also it helps to reduce redness and scars. It also works on stretch marks, dry hair and cuticles.


Benefits 


Marula oil is rich in essential fatty acids like Omega 9-oleic and Omega 6-linoleic that deeply hydrate and reduce redness while nourishing, healing and improving skin elasticity.


According to Drunk Elephant: Our Virgin Marula Oil is cold-pressed using a patented process of unheated water extraction, ensuring the oil remains nutrient-dense and stays fresher longer. We don't cut, bleach or deodorize, nor do we add scented essential oils, which can act as irritants and disrupt the many benefits of this pure and unrefined oil. Highly absorbable, Virgin Marula Oil delivers advanced defense against environmental stressors and free radicals. Look for a noticeable reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, redness and blotchiness, with a marked improvement in skin's elastic feel. It is naturally anti-microbial and appropriate for all skin types.

My Experiences with this oil

Let me start by saying this oil is my skincare staple. This is an amazing, luxurious oil that makes my skin absolutely smooth, supple and glowy. I do have a very dry skin so it was like a blessing to me when i got to try this out. i love that its so soothing and calming to the skin, not greasy or oily at all. It adds such a beautiful glow and radiance to the skin. Even though its a rich oil, the absorption rate is amazingly quick because of its smallest molecular size.
  
       One thing i want to address, if you are acne prone skin type, i would be cautious with this oil. Other than that its a great oil for anti-aging and healing. This leaves my skin nourished, supple, hydrated and almost bouncy, also it adds a layer of protection from any harsh cold weather. I use about 3-4 drops and its enough for your entire face. It can be used alone or added to other products to boost the hydration. I use this oil mostly at night as my last skincare step and wake up to a glowing, healthy looking skin. I’m pleased and will repurchase this product.
