Sclerocarya birrea , English name Marula, is a savannah tree, belonging to the family Anacardiaceae, with a plum-like pale yellow fruit of 3–4 cm in diameter with a juicy mucilaginous flesh.

Marula oil is known as the “elixir of youth.” It is a wondrous oil obtained from the marula tree (Sclerocarya birrea) native to Southern Africa.

 Marula seed had adequate quantities of phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, and copper. The contents of sodium, manganese, and zinc were below recommended levels required by ruminants for growth and productivity.

Marula oil is high in antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and amino acids. It's widely used as an ingredient in skin care products, and appears to be beneficial for oily, acne-prone, dry, and aging skin. It's also effective at keeping hair soft, supple, and moisturized.
