Whether you're brand new here or have been part of the A'del family for years, we're so glad you're here. One thing you can always expect from us is honesty and transparency when it comes to what we put in our products. Every ingredient has a purpose, carefully chosen to serve your skin well.
Today, we're sharing all about marula oil and why we love using it in our Blue Lagoon Face Balm!
If you're drawn to natural skincare made with intention, marula oil is an ingredient your skin will love. Pressed from the nuts of the marula tree, this beautiful natural oil is lightweight, fast-absorbing, and never leaves a greasy residue. It melts into the skin effortlessly, making it one of the best facial oils for everyday use.
Marula oil is rich in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and skin-loving vitamins that truly nourish your skin. It's a powerhouse ingredient in clean skincare, simple, effective, and created just the way God designed.
What Makes Marula Oil So Special
Not all oils are created equal, and marula oil stands out in the world of holistic skincare. Thanks to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, this lightweight oil offers benefits that rival popular options like argan oil and coconut oil. Here's what makes it so beneficial:
Oleic acid (omega-9): Supports your skin's moisture barrier, helping hydration stay locked in and protecting against environmental damage.
Linoleic acid (omega-6): Balances oil production, making marula oil wonderful for acne-prone skin.
Vitamin E: Protects skin from daily environmental stressors and helps fight free radicals that cause oxidative stress.
Vitamin C: Supports collagen production, skin renewal, and natural glow.
Amino acids (including glutamic acid): Help maintain skin elasticity and firmness over time.
Marula oil also contains palmitic acid and beneficial phenolic compounds that work together to support healthy, radiant skin.
Marula Oil Benefits You'll Actually Notice
One of the most loved marula oil benefits is deep hydration without heaviness. This pure marula oil absorbs quickly, making it a perfect marula oil moisturizer for day or night and a beautiful addition to any skincare routine or beauty routine.
With consistent use, marula oil may:
-
Support healthy-looking collagen and collagen production
-
Improve skin tone and reduce the appearance of dark spots
-
Calm irritated or sensitive skin
-
Smooth rough texture and soften fine lines
-
Leave skin soft and radiant
-
Help improve the appearance of stretch marks
Because marula oil is so similar to the oils your skin naturally produces, it absorbs quickly without feeling heavy or sitting on top of your skin. This makes it perfect for layering with other products.
Works for Every Skin Type
Marula oil is incredibly versatile and truly a skincare product for everyone:
Dry skin: Deep nourishment and comfort
Oily or acne-prone skin: Helps balance oil naturally without clogging pores
Sensitive skin: Gentle and soothing with anti-inflammatory properties
Mature skin: Supports skin elasticity and glow
Your skin changes with the seasons, with hormones, with life. Marula oil adapts right along with it. It's truly one of the most universal natural skincare oils, suitable for nearly every skin type.
If you have a history of nut allergies, we recommend opting out of this oil.
How to Use Marula Oil in Your Nightly Skincare Routine
Keeping your skincare routine simple is the A'del way:
Cleanse: Start with our Essential Cleanse or Blue Lagoon Cleanse.
Hydrate: Apply our aloe-based Essential Hydrate or Blue Lagoon Hydrate to prep the skin for deep absorption.
Seal it in: Finish with our Blue Lagoon Face Balm, a natural face balm rich in virgin marula oil. This balm is deeply nourishing with God-created oils and butters. It hydrates, soothes, and supports healthy, glowing skin.
Our Blue Lagoon Face Balm can be used lightly in the morning, underneath foundation, and more generously at night.
