Humectant
Mixed

Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil is the oil expressed from the seeds of the Marula plant. In South Africa, Marula is called "an elephant's favorite treat".

Marula seed oil is a non-fragrant oil. It is rich in fatty acids, such as oleic, linoleic, palmitic, stearic, and more. These fatty acids help hydrate the skin.

Other components of marula seed oil include vitamin E and antioxidants such as flavonoids.

Antioxidants may help reduce the signs of aging. This is because they help fight free-radical molecules. If left unchecked, free-radical molecules may damage your skin cells and DNA.

This face oil from Drunk Elephant is exorbitantly priced, currently retailing for 86 Swiss Francs, equivalent to about 100.86 USD. This pricing feels like a rip-off, especially considering that other companies offer high-quality marula oil at reasonable prices. I'm giving it one more star than I would, simply because marula oil is very beneficial and effective. At such a high cost for this product, one might expect the marula fruits to be picked by drunk elephants themselves.
