The Ordinary Marula Oil 1 fl oz — 100% Cold-Pressed Virgin, Unrefined Antioxidant Oil for Radiant Hydration

The Ordinary 100% Cold-Pressed Virgin Marula Oil is a single-ingredient, unrefined facial and hair oil designed to help restore visible radiance with naturally occurring antioxidants.

This lightweight, extra-rich oil comes from cold-pressed, virgin marula seeds and delivers a blend of naturally occurring antioxidants and fatty acids. Unrefined and organic, it’s formulated to help support skin hydration and add a dewy finish when used as part of a skincare routine or applied to hair for added softness. Use only a few drops at a time — the concentrated formula is intended to complement, not replace, your existing moisturizers.

How does this marula oil benefit my skin?

The oil supplies a mix of oleic and linoleic acids that support the skin’s moisture balance, helping skin appear smoother and more luminous. Naturally occurring antioxidants in the unrefined oil help maintain a fresher-looking surface when used consistently as part of a routine.

• Rich in oleic and linoleic fatty acids for hydration support
• Unrefined antioxidants to help preserve skin radiance
• Lightweight, fast-absorbing texture for layering under or over moisturizers
• Single-ingredient formulation minimizes irritation risk for many users

Can I use The Ordinary Marula Oil on my hair and scalp?

Yes — this oil is suitable for hair use and can add softness and shine when applied sparingly. Work a small amount through damp or dry ends to help smooth frizz and enhance manageability without heavy buildup when used correctly.

• Apply 1–3 drops to mid-lengths and ends for shine and softness
• Use on damp hair to lock in moisture after conditioning
• Avoid the roots if you have fine hair to prevent weighing down
• Can be used as an occasional overnight treatment on dry ends

How should I incorporate this oil into my daily routine?

Introduce the oil gradually: start with one drop and increase to a few drops as needed. For daytime, pat a drop over moisturizer to add a dewy finish; at night, massage into skin after serums and before or after your cream, depending on how you prefer layering oils.

• Patch test before first use and avoid broken skin
• For face: use 1–4 drops, warmed between palms and pressed into skin
• For hair: distribute through damp hair or smooth on dry ends
• Store in a cool, dark place to preserve unrefined oil quality

Is this product suitable for sensitive or dry skin?

The single-ingredient, unrefined formula reduces exposure to additives, making it a straightforward choice for many people with dry or reactive skin. However, because individual sensitivities vary, always perform a patch test and discontinue use if irritation occurs.

• Ideal for dry skin types seeking extra hydration support
• Unrefined, cold-pressed oil keeps naturally occurring compounds intact
• Not intended for use on broken or compromised skin
• Patch test recommended for sensitive skin types

Who is this for: The Ordinary 100% Cold-Pressed Virgin Marula Oil is aimed at anyone looking for a pure, single-ingredient oil to boost hydration, add surface radiance, or tame dry hair ends. It’s especially useful for those with dry or combination skin who want a simple, antioxidant-rich product to layer into their existing routine. If you have acne-prone or very oily skin, start with a small patch test and use sparingly to assess how your skin responds.
