food and beverage by the local tribes' people for centuries. The stone within the fruit contains several
kernels, which are rich in oil. The fruit is only ready once it has fallen off the tree and is then collected,
the oil being extracted by local farmers using pressing and filtering equipment. No solvents are used in a
light refining process, and the presence of vitamins is thereby ensured, making the oil suitable for use in
inkomfeŽ products. Marula Oil is one of the richest natural sources
of Oleic Acid, an essential component in the maintenance of healthy skin.
