Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

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.

Due to the fatty acid content, this ingredient may not be fungal-acne safe.

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 Show more

It’s nice. But so overpriced for what it is. You’re paying for the brand and the packaging. It’s just an Marula oil. Nothing else. The Ordinary sells the same thing for almost 10X cheaper- and its organic.
