Swazi Secrets : Marula Oil Skincare Products : Irish Distributor : Healthy Say Health Store

"I heard a Swazi Secret. I learned it from the trees. How nature has the answers. And we discovered these. There’s lots of Swazi Secrets. Marula is the best. So give your skin a real treat and put it to the test."

Swazi Secrets is a truly wonderful range of natural products derived from the Marula - the King of African Trees. The Marula range of products capture centuries of profound African wisdom - purely, simply and naturally. The Marula is the source of many wonders of nature. The fruit of the Marula contains four times as much Vitamin C as an orange. The leaves, bark and roots all have wonderful properties but the skin care properties of the

oil are perhaps the very best of all. Swazi Secrets strive to make sustainable use of natural resources in a way that benefits both the users of the finished product and the communities where the plants grow. Swazi Secrets have developed this natural product range on oils derived from an indigenous tree that:

“I apply the Marula Oil it to my face every night before I go to bed, and friends and family are constantly remarking on how well my skin looks”

Keys to Swazi Secrets Success

1) If you really care about what you allow on your skin then Swazi Secrets is for you. All skincare producers are seeking natural cosmetics as the market grows but few can claim to be as truly natural as Swazi Secrets. Being wild harvested is what makes all the difference.

2) Swazi Secrets is genuinely a Fair Trade range of products. Fair Trade labels are widespread now on retail shelves because they contain some fair trade ingredients. Swazi Secrets Marula products have much greater appeal to ‘hard core fair traders’.

3) Truth in labelling. Swazi Secret products withstand full and thorough scrutiny.

Marula Oil

The Swazi Secrets flagship product is a pure, unrefined Marula Oil cold pressed from wild–harvested, hand-cracked nuts. Nothing is added and nothing is taken out in order to retain the very best of its amazing skin care properties.

It is quickly absorbed by the skin to moisturise and relax – especially if applied with a massage by your loved one. It is naturally rich in vitamin E, known for its anti-aging properties, and which also acts as a natural preservative, giving it a shelf-life of at least two years without any additives. Apply to the skin on your body and face.

Ingredients: Pure, cold-pressed Sclerocarya birrea (marula) seed oil
Available in bottles containing 50ml (1.69 fl oz) and 100 ml (3.38 fl oz)

“The Hand & Body Lotion simply glides onto the skin when applied and absorbs into the skin wonderfully”

Marula Soap

The Marula soap is hand made, containing over 40% marula oil to give it many of the skin care properties of that oil.

It provides a rich, creamy lather and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth. Many users have found it extremely good in preventing acne.

The soap is available in 75gm

“I am so impressed with the whole range and even use the Marula Soap to wash my hair”

Marula Moisturising Exfoliator

This Moisturising Exfoliator is truly a secret we discovered while pressing marula oil: as the oil runs out of the press, small particles of marula seeds in the oil are sieved off and this mix of marula crumbs and marula oil makes a peeling product gentle enough for even the driest skin. The marula oil contained in it moisturises and soothes the skin, so don’t wash it off.

Directions for use: After cleaning, gently massage the exfoliator into the skin, then wipe particles off with a moist tissue. Massage remaining marula oil into the skin.

Ingredients: Pressed Sclerocarya birrea (marula) seeds and seed oil.
Available in 90g (3.17 oz) tube, for easy and hygienic handling.

Marula & Shea Butter Lip Balm

Marula, Shea, Ximenia, Mongongo – the names of the oils in this lip balm conjure up the African wind in the leaves of the trees they come from, and the rhythmic work of the rural women who extract the precious seeds from their shells. The result is a unique moisturising and soothing balm that helps your sensitive lips cope with cold, heat, wind and dry air… naturally.

Ingredients: Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Sclerocarya Birrea (Marula) Seed Oil, Ximenia Caffra Seed Oil, Schinziophyton Rautanenii (Mongongo) Kernel Oil, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Aroma (Flavor), Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) Wax, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol.

Available 13 g (0.45 oz) tube with applicator

Marula Tree

The Marula tree (Scelerocarya birrea, subspecies caffera) is one of Africa's most wonderful botanical treasures. Over the millennia tens of millions of marula fruit have been eaten. Not only the fruit, but also the nuts, that are very rich in minerals and vitamins. The history of the marula tree stretches for thousands of years. Archaeological evidence suggests that the marula tree was a source of nutrition as long as ago as 10,000BC. Legends abound on the multiple uses of the tree, the bark, the leaves, fruit, nut and the kernels. Perhaps it

is the best known for the fruit that 'drives elephants mad' when it drops to the ground and becomes slightly fermented, marula is a much-loved tree in the veldt in Africa. It has been a dIET®ary mainstay in South Africa, Botswana and Namibia throughout history.
