to leave your skin wonderfully soft.
Ingredients: marula oil, coconut oil
and water.
The marula tree (King of African trees) is best-known for its golfball-sized fruit, which it bears in profusion during summer. The fruit are round to oval, green when young, and becoming butter-yellow as they ripen. The thick, soft, leathery exocarp encloses a white, slimy fruit pulp and a large, hard, woody stone. The seeds contained therein are white and nut-like. The exotic marula fruit is used in the production of Amarula
(a favourite tipple which we refer to as the African Baileys® Irish cream).
25% from the sale of each bar of
soap will be donated towards the support of a family in Low Veld with more than
70% of Swazis living below the poverty line
