Marula By John Paul Selects is named after "co-founder, humanitarians and entrepreneur John Paul DeJoria" who you might remember as the co-founder of Paul Mitchell haircare. Marula by John Paul Selects asserts, "all our brands support sustainability, social causes and the way they make this world a better place."

Marula By John Paul Selects Pure Marula Facial Oil contains 99% Marula Oil and 1% Essential Oil Fragrance Blend (Linalool, Limonene). It is an antioxidant rich anti-aging face oil that hydrates and protects the skin while leaving it soft smooth and supple. Marula Oil provides the skin with serious hydration, soothes irritated skin, lightly plumps fine lines, and offers skin a healthy dose of radiance.

Pure Marula Facial Oil has a light and fresh quasi-herbal scent that dissipates quickly upon application. The texture is light and emollient, but I found that it took a little massaging before it would fully sink into the skin. However, applying it to warm and slightly damp skin does make it sink in more quickly. It also works brilliantly well on cuticles and hair, and during my testing period I applied to my cuticles daily, and saw an amazing difference.

Product Claims:

Specially formulated for the face and neck, premium Marula Oil is a naturally soothing treatment that provides intense hydration, protection, and rejuvenation to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for soft, radiant skin. It is suitable for all skin types and contains a high content of fatty acids, resulting in fast absorption to leave skin smooth with a matte finish. Clinically proven to contain a great deal of antioxidants and omega acids, it can be used alone as a highly effective anti-aging moisturizer, added to other facial products to boost their efficacy, soothe skin after facial treatments or sunburn, or used as a perfect makeup primer. The deliciously fresh scent that stems from a one percent essential oil blend and provides a total sensory experience upon application, then dissipates so it won’t fight your fragrance.

According to Marula:

Light and hydrating, Pure Marula Facial Oil absorbs quickly into the skin without a greasy after feel providing immediate and long lasting hydration and improved skin elasticity. Pure Marula Oil by Marula Pure Beauty Oil is the only doctor endorsed, scientifically validated facial oil, with 60% more antioxidants than the leading Argan Oil.

100% Pure Marula Oil is completely virgin, wild harvested, hand-selected, and cold pressed with no added heat or chemicals ensuring that its beneficial properties are captured in every bottle. This superior facial oil leaves skin soft and plump with increased firmness for healthy, beautiful, age-defying radiance.

Multiple uses:

• Alone or as an anti-aging moisturizer
• A healing hydration boost after chemical peels, microdermabrasion and laser treatments
• An elasticity boost when added to your facial mask, cleanser, or moisturizer
• Primer -mix with your foundation for added moisture. 

Marula By John Paul Selects suggests adding Pure Marula Facial Oil to other skincare and Beauty products in order to boost their efficacy, and I can attest to the wonders of this practice since I have been doing this with my facial oils for many years. Furthermore, when added to foundations and tinted moisturizers, skin is left delectably luminous.
