Founder Tiffany Masterson saw elephants in Namibia eating fallen marula fruit. They got tipsy from the fermented juice.
The real story isn’t the elephant — it’s the seed. They left it untouched. That’s the part she wanted: the unfermented, virgin oil from the kernel.
It’s a single-ingredient facial oil. $78 for 30ml. The claim? It’s so stable it doesn’t need other oils or preservatives — just pure marula.
Cold-Pressed
Extracted without heat to keep nutrients intact.
Virgin Grade
The highest purity — no solvents, no dilution.
Shelf-Stable
Naturally rich in antioxidants, so it won’t turn rancid fast.

It’s literally one thing: *Sclerocarya birrea* (Marula) Seed Oil. That’s the whole ingredient list. The press release would never admit this feels insane for the price.
- Virgin Marula Oil: High in omegas 6 & 9 and antioxidants — hydrates, softens, and protects.

Texture is a light gold — not thick or sticky. Absorbs in under 60 seconds. Leaves a soft, satin finish, not a greasy one.
Week 3: My skin was definitely more supple. But I was surprised it didn’t break me out — most oils do. It just…quietly works.

My dry patches vanished. Complexion looked smoother. Didn’t magically erase fine lines — let’s be real.

It’s a beautifully executed, simple product. You’re paying for purity and a great story from Drunk Elephant. No regrets, but it’s a treat.
