Marula Oil is a product by the lifestyle company the Leakey Collection that provides a sustainable source of income for rural women in East Africa. The high-quality, skin-nourishing oil is farm-free, extracting the oil from fruit that is wild-harvested over a vast area in an effort to avoid disrupting the ecosystem and straining any particular region. In addition to its dedication to the environment and the development of a sustainable economy in East Africa, Marula Oil enables rural women to feed, clothe and educate their families.
This latest product from the Leakey Collection is a joint venture of Katy and Phillip Leakey and plastic surgeon Dr. Ashton Kaidi, while the oil is also approved by the Fair Trade Association and Green America.
