Mafura Oil

Mafura Oil – 100% Pure, Cold-Pressed

Take your formulations to the next level with our premium-quality Mafura Oil, a rich, exotic butter-like oil prized for its moisturizing and healing properties. Extracted from the seeds of the Trichilia emetica tree and cold-pressed for maximum nutrient retention, this oil is an excellent emollient base for DIY creams, balms, conditioners, butters, and scalp treatments.

Loved by formulators for its creamy texture, high oleic acid content, and natural antimicrobial benefits, Mafura Oil is especially beneficial in products targeting dry, irritated, or mature skin and brittle or damaged hair.
