The marula fruit tree is native to parts of southern Africa. The trees grow wild and were once rare, but are now cultivated. Once considered sacred, the marula tree was linked to fertility and happy marriage in ancient times. Each marula fruit contains a hard, brown nut with pliable, white kernels at its core. Marula oil is primarily extracted from these kernels, but can also be obtained from the nut’s outer husk. Marula oil is rich in protein and easily absorbed, making it an effective skin and hair treatment.

One lesser known part of the rose is the round, seed-filled bulbs known as rose hips, which are found underneath rose petals. Also called the fruit of the rose, rose hips are usually red-orange, though yellow and black varieties can also be found. Unlike rose blossoms, which bloom in the spring and summer months, rose hips generally grow after the petals have bloomed and started falling off, which is usually in early to mid-fall. In fact, they’re considered sweeter when picked after the first frost of the season. Rich in nutrients and disease-fighting properties, rose hips have gained attention for their role in health and beauty.
