The Ordinary 100% Cold-Pressed Virgin Marula Oil (30 ml / 1 fl oz)

A pure, unrefined, cold‑pressed oil extracted from the kernels of the African marula tree (Sclerocarya birrea), rich in oleic and linoleic fatty acids. It’s designed to boost hydration and add radiant glow to both skin and hair 

• Deep hydration & radiant tone: The high oleic/linoleic acid content (70–78% oleic) supports moisture retention; antioxidants like vitamin E and flavonoids help brighten and protect 

• Antioxidant and anti‑aging support: Naturally occurring antioxidants fight free radicals and support skin barrier health .

• Gentle and versatile: Free from alcohol, silicones, gluten, fragrances, and is vegan/cruelty‑free—suitable for all skin types including sensitive or acne‑prone 

Light yellow, thin "dry" oil with a subtle nutty scent. Absorbs quickly without heaviness 

How to Use

• On skin: Apply a few drops on face once daily or as needed, after serums, before moisturizer 

• On hair: Use on damp, clean hair to tame frizz, add shine, or nourish ends 

• Many find it hydrating but lighter than squalane, leaving a smooth finish rather than a greasy layer. One user noted that pricier oils (like Drunk Elephant) absorb faster and feel less greasy, though The Ordinary version still performed well

• Widely praised for improving skin softness and evening tone, especially useful in the morning or on combination skin .

Ideal for those:

• Seeking a natural oil to seal hydration and brighten skin.

• Wanting a vegan, minimalist formula without added ingredients.

• Looking to improve hair texture, reduce frizz, and boost shine.

• Use after your water‑based treatments to lock in moisture.

• Use sparingly—especially if you have oily skin—as a little goes a long way.
