Marula Oil??

Have never heard of but see online the prices vary wildly. Were you able to find it in a store? Was the doc a gyn or dermatologist and was a brand recommended?

I've not heard of it either. Was it a prescription or did you buy over the counter. Let us know.. ☺

Doc was GYN. He didn't recommend a brand...so I looked on the web. Yes, prices vary dramatically. It's supposed to arrive today. Will let you know what I think.

I go to Derm on Wed. I'll ask her about it as well.

Thanks for the information; I have not heard of that either. As some of you know, I have a business and make organic skincare, aromatherapy and pet care products. I only use suppliers that I can totally trust for ingredients. I checked and my primary supplier carries certified organic marula oil. It is Mountain Rose Herbs in Oregon, USA. They practice sustainability and have been around for a long time. Just an option for superior quality oils at fair prices.

Let us know how you get on with it SnappyCat.

Update: So, I've had the Marula Oil for about a week now. It is a very nice oil and not at all smelly. I got sort of mid-priced version "cold pressed". I've used it some for my LS, but frankly, I think the value of the oil-based stuff is the barrier it provides, and one aspect of this oil is that it seems to soak into the skin quite nicely. I think this is why it is liked as a facial treatment (I have tried it on my face and can really see a pretty dramatic difference in my skin...but I don't think I'd necessarily recommend it for the LS.

For my LS, I like vaseline every day for barrier, with coconut oil and/or aloe vera as supplemental.

So, that's that. I will enjoy my little bottle of marula oil, but...unless you're having troubles finding an oil that works, I'm not nec advocating this.
