Description

Organic Marula Oil

Wild As The Wind Organic Marula Oil is an excellent quality organic carrier oil, which has earned its place in a good number of high-end facial and personal care products.

This deeply moisturising oil is variously used for mature and problem skin in facial preparations, and is often used as a rich, nourishing base for bath and body oils. It is also used in high-end haircare products.

Organic Marula Oil is antioxidant, antimicrobial, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-ageing.

According to WebMD, Organic Marula Oil prevents damage from sun and environment:

The sun’s ultraviolet rays along with high amounts of pollution in the environment cause skin damage, according to dermatologist Hadley King, MD. By using an oil such as marula oil, you can better combat these elements.

Organic Marula Oil Is Nutrient Rich

Wild As The Wind Organic Marula Oil is exceedingly rich in antioxidants, amino acids, and essential fatty acids, aka omegas. It is these omega fats which are profoundly moisturising for our skin.

The complex nutritional profile of Wild As The Wind Organic Marula Oil means it can really help with the maintenance of healthy skin and hair. Plus, it is very protective, making it particularly beneficial in the colder months.

Organic Marula Oil effectively creates a protective barrier against harsh weather and environmental pollutants. It can also help to reduce the amount of water which is lost from our skin by forming a lightweight, non-greasy, protective film on the surface of our skin. This protective barrier means that Wild As The Wind Organic Marula Oil provides our skin with the healthiest looking glow imaginable.

Wild As The Wind Organic Marula Oil can also be used as a hair oil for dry, damaged and unruly hair.

Wild As The Wind Organic Marula Oil For Skincare

Organic Marula Oil, despite packing a nutritional punch and being very protective of our skin, is a very light oil, which absorbs well.

However, the comedogenic value of Organic Marula Oil is 3 to 4, which would usually make it a little too rich for those with very fine pores, or those who have a tendency towards blocked pores. But, owing to the impressive antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory actions of this oil, it is nevertheless advocated for use with problem skin conditions such as; acne, eczema and psoriasis etc.

Plus, combing Organic Marula Oil with less comedogenic oils, such as Organic Safflower Oil or Organic Grapeseed Oil etc, will offset any potential issues for most people.

That said, because Organic Marula Oil is antimicrobial, there’s little risk of it causing issues like acne even when used on its own.

Blending Your Own Facial Oil

Using carrier oils, as a base for essential oils, to make facial oils is an ideal approach to optimising the potential benefits.

Wild As The Wind FACIAL OIL No. 2 and FACIAL OIL No. 8 both contain 8 essential oils each, with FACIAL OIL No. 2 containing six carrier oils and FACIAL OIL No. 8 containing four.

Organic Marula Oil contains a good number of proteins, which are the building blocks of the body. Without these proteinous building blocks our bodies would not be able to renew themselves.

The following proteins are found in Organic Marula Oil:

  • L-arginine
  • Glutamic acid

The main benefits of L-arginine and Glutamic acid are that they are deeply anti-ageing as well as profoundly hydrating.

Organic Marula Oil also contains a good number of essential fatty acids, (EFA’s) or Omega oils, which are emollient as well as being the best moisturising ingredients available.

Organic Marula Oil contains the following EFA’s:

  • Myristic Acid (Omega-5)
  • Oleic Acid (Omega-9)
  • Stearic Acid (Saturated fat as found in Tallow)
  • Palmitic Acid (Omega-6)

The antioxidant concentration of Organic Marula Oil is also high.

The key antioxidants in Organic Marula Oil are:

  • Phenolic compounds
  • Vitamin E
  • Vitamin C

Vitamin E and C are excellent for reducing oxidative stress, as they are free radical scavengers, which are known to reduce environmental skin damage from pollutants and the ultraviolet rays of the sun.

Phenolic compounds help to eliminate synthetic oestrogens, xenoestrogens, from our hormone receptor sites. Xenoestrogens, which are everywhere in our environment, as well as our food, attach to hormone receptor sites and then refuse to let go. This means that our natural hormones, (which always release after transmitting their message to the body), have nowhere to dock. A failure in our natural hormones to deliver their message means that xenoestrogens are causing system harm. Phenolic compounds are thus increasingly more important for our health.

Key skincare benefits of Organic Marula Oil:

  • Deeply moisturising
  • Smoothing and softening fine lines
  • Dermal hydration
  • Antimicrobial cleansing agent
  • Preventing and reducing the appearance of stretch marks
  • Nutritive and healing
  • Reducing irritation + itching
