HIGH OXIDATION RESISTANCE MILD ANTI-BACTERIAL

As Marula Guys does not refine or super-heat its marula oil but Marula oil has a phenolic content of rather gently cleanses it through its proprietary process without around 3.05 GAE/g and includes the flavonoids gallotannin the use of excessive heat (no temperature over 45 degrees Celsius) and procyanidine, which together with minor fatty acids may or chemical solvents, the powerful anti-oxidants that naturally be responsible for the mild anti-bacterial activity of the oil. occur in marula oil are preserved. This enables the free radical The oil is active in inhibiting the growth of Staphylococcus, scavenging agents in the unsaponifiable fraction of the oil (3800 - Pseudomonas and Salmonella. 4300mg/kg) to remain active.

SOOTHES REDNESS, SWELLING AND IRRITATION IMPROVES SKIN HYDRATION AND SMOOTHNESS Marula oil is recommended to help soothe sensitive skin and Due to the high content of anti-oxidants and fatty acids such as reduce redness and inflammation especially after cosmetic Omega 6 & 9,marula oil is an anti-ageing moisturizer that helps to treatments such as mi crodermabrasion, chemical peels, Iaser stimulate collagen production and leaves a satin finish to the skin treatments and cosmetic surgery.

6. SAFETY:

Refer to material safety data sheet

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET - MARULA OIL MARULA (SCLEROCARYA BIRREA) OIL

1. CHARACTERISTICS:

Marula oil is made from the cold pressing of Sclerocarya birrea seeds from the Anacardiaceae family. The oil is yellow to pink in colour with a slightly fruity odour.

2. CHEMICAL SPECIFICATION:

Refraction Index (20°C): 1.455 – _1.470 Specific gravity at 20°C: 0.910 – _0.920

Saponification value (mg KOH/g): 188 - 196

Iodine value g I2/100g: 70 – _80

Fatty Acid Composition g Fatty acid / 100g Fatty acid

Myristic acid (C14:0) ND 0.5

3. APPLICATIONS:

Marula oil is a very stable oil, used as a hydrating, protecting and healing compound in topical applications. Being rich in oleic acid, the oil is used in the formulation of many types of products including bath products, body and hand preparations, cleansing products, eye makeup, makeup, nail care products, skin care preparations and hair care products

4. PROPERTIES:

Marula oil is considered to be a nutritive skin care oil. It is rich in anti-oxidants and oleic acid, and it is an extremely stable cosmetic oil. Its high content of palmitic acid creates a protective coating on the surface of the skin. The oil absorbs quickly, hydrates the skin, heals skin tissues, reduces redness, reduces trans- epidermal water loss, increases the smoothness of skin and conditions the hair. Easy absorption, a high proportion of oleic acid, as well as the presence of linoleic acid all contribute to rendering the oil ideal for topical application

5. STORAGE:

Store in a cool dark place in dark container with minimal headspace.
