Marula Pure Beauty Oil takes its mission to promote Fair Trade seriously – the brand operates in 72 villages in Swaziland and 70 villages in Nambia, and has grown its network of Marula nut harvesters from 4,000 in 2014 to 7,500 as of May 2015.

The brand says it is proud of the record it has in promoting economic fairness and preserving natural resources. Of the utmost importance is the Fair Trade principle upon which the brand was founded. Marula Pure Beauty Oil is the only manufacturer of Marula oil that has established a fully integrated supply chain from natural resource to finished product, providing economic opportunities to thousands of rural African women at Fair Trade wages.

Marula Oil products are part of ROK Stars PLC, co-founded by John Paul DeJoria and Jonathan Kendrick.

“Marula Pure Beauty Oil totally stands apart from its peers in this regard, as well as in the ultimate quality and purity of our finished product.  As our business grows, so does the economic advantage that is shared in the communities who are working to harvest the Marula nuts, while being able to maintain their long-held traditions and way of life,” says co-founder Kendrick.

Marula oil’s product lineup includes the pure oil, packaged in an amber colored dropper bottle, shown above.
