The Ordinary 100% Cold-Pressed Marula Oil 1 fl oz — Lightweight, Antioxidant-Rich

This lightweight, extra-rich oil is made from 100% cold-pressed virgin marula seed oil and delivers naturally occurring antioxidants plus a balance of oleic and linoleic fatty acids. Untreated and unrefined, the formula preserves the oil's natural composition so it can be used as a targeted moisturizer for dry skin or as a finishing treatment for hair. Apply sparingly—just a few drops—so the oil layers comfortably over serums or makeup-free skin.

How does this marula oil help dry or dull skin?

The oil supplies fatty acids and antioxidants that help skin look smoother and appear more luminous. Because it’s virgin and cold-pressed, the oil retains compounds that can visibly enhance glow without heavy synthetic additives.

• 100% pure marula seed oil, unrefined to keep natural nutrients intact
• Contains oleic and linoleic acids that support surface hydration
• Lightweight texture that layers well under sunscreen or makeup
• Antioxidants from the raw oil help protect the skin’s appearance

Can I use this oil on hair, and how should I apply it?

Yes—this marula oil doubles as a hair treatment to smooth frizz and add shine. Work a few drops through damp or dry strands, concentrating on mid-lengths and ends to avoid weighing down roots.

• Apply 1–3 drops to palms, rub together, then distribute through damp hair
• Use sparingly on dry ends to reduce frizz and boost shine
• Safe to mix with leave-in conditioners or styling creams for extra nourishment
• Avoid scalp application if you prefer a lightweight finish at the roots

Is there a recommended routine and any safety considerations?

Use marula oil after water-based serums and creams to seal in moisture, or as the final step in a nighttime routine. Always do a patch test before full-face use and avoid applying to broken or compromised skin.

• Apply a few drops to cleansed skin, massage gently until absorbed
• For daytime, follow with sunscreen; at night, use as the last moisturizing step
• Patch test behind ear or inner arm for 24 hours if you have sensitive skin
• Keep bottle away from direct heat and sunlight to preserve the unrefined oil

Who is this for? This product suits people seeking a single-ingredient, natural oil to enhance skin hydration and surface radiance—especially those with dry or combination skin types who prefer unrefined botanical oils. It's also useful for anyone wanting an effortless hair-finishing oil to tame flyaways and add sheen. If you have oily or acne-prone skin, use cautiously and test first to see how a pure oil integrates into your routine.
