Marula oil
漆树果油

Marula oil is one of the most exotic and emollient oils storming on the skin and hair care scene today. Derived from the kernels of the Marula Tree in Africa, it is referred to as the “Miracle oil.” Marula oil is chock full of antioxidants and rife with vitamin E and C, making it exceptionally resistant to oxidation. Marula oil is particularly effective at preventing wrinkles and providing maximum skin nourishment by penetrating deeply into the epidermis and delivering nutrients and hydration.

漆树果油是一种最具有异国情调的润肤油，对皮肤和头发的护理效果非同一般。漆树果油来自非洲的漆树果实的内核，它被称为“奇迹油”。
漆树果仁油含有丰富的抗氧化剂维生素E和C ，使得其坚果油马鲁拉油具有不寻常耐氧化作用。漆树果仁油是一款具有特别对皮肤有效的防止皱纹、提供最大的滋养的护肤品，其养分可以深入到表皮提供营养和水化。

Skin aging is the result of dehydration and free radical damage. Marula oil addresses both these issues. By acting as a humectant, Marula oil helps to retain moisture in the skin, thus delaying the aging process.  With more antioxidants than Argan oil, Marula oil infuses a myriad of nutrients in the skin and hair, subduing the deleterious effects of free radicals.

皮肤的老化过程，是表皮脱水和光自由基损害的结果。漆树果仁油用于护肤可以解决这两个问题。
漆树果仁油作为保湿剂，有助于保持皮肤中的水分，从而延缓衰老机制的发生。
与阿甘油相比较，漆树果油富含更多的抗氧化剂，这些营养素在皮肤和头发基质上，可以对抗自由基的有害作用。

The special qualities of Marula oil include its capacity to rapidly absorb in the skin without leaving a greasy residue and the abundance of phytonutrients including : tocopherols, sterols, flavonoids(procyanidin, gallotannin, and catechins) which contribute to its unique.

漆树果仁油的特质成分组成，包括维生素E，甾醇，黄酮类化合物（花青素，单宁酸和儿茶素），这些类别的植物物质天然化合物，是皮肤基质的营养素，能够促进皮肤迅速吸收，对皮肤无油腻的残留物。

Tocopherols – Vitamin E works as a family of related compounds. Tocopherols are a class of chemical compounds which exhibit significant Vitamin E activity. These include alpha, beta, gamma, and delta forms of Vitamin E. Tocopherols neutralize free radical damage, provide luster to the skin and hair, and prevent premature aging.

天然生育酚——维生素E是一类组成相近的化合物族系。
天然生育酚是一类化学物质，表现出显着的维生素E样的活性。这些包括α、β、γ、δ形式的维生素E。
漆树果油中的天然维生素E可以中和自由基损害，滋润皮肤和头发而显现光泽，防止过早老化。

Sterols – Plant sterols are natural compounds found in Marula oil and are essentially vegetable fats that enhance the human immune system. Sterols help boost epidermal moisture retention internally and strengthen the protective skin barrier with external stimulation.

Flavonoids - Procyanidin, Gallotannin, and Catechins are all flavonoids that demonstrate considerable antioxidant activity. These antioxidants working in conjunction with one another provide Marula oil with powerful healing properties. Procyanidins are tannins with the same healing properties that are found in apples and red wine.  They have shown to have anti-inflammatory traits as well as assist depression.{1}  Gallotannin is another potent tannin with antioxidant activity. Catechins are a type of natural phenol and antioxidant part of the flavonoid family. It has similar antioxidant effects as green tea.

类黄酮物质——漆树果油中的原花青素、五倍子鞣酸、儿茶素都是表现出相当的抗氧化活性的类黄酮化合物。这些抗氧化剂协同发挥作用，使漆树果仁油提供了强大的积极作用。
原花青素属于鞣质类（丹宁酸），最早在苹果和红葡萄酒中发现的不同的单宁，具有相同的愈合伤口的特性。研究已经证实他们有抗炎特质，以及协助抑郁症的缓解。五倍子鞣酸是另一个强效的单宁，具有抗氧化活性。儿茶素是一类天然酚和抗氧化剂类黄酮族类化合物的片段。它有类似绿茶的抗氧化作用。

The botanical name of Marula is Sclerocarya birrea, and is a single-stemmed tree with a wide-spreading, round crown and characteristic grey, mottled bark, peeling in disc-shaped flakes. It is a tall, deciduous tree (15-20m high). The compound leaves are grey-green in color, but turn pale yellow prior to being shed. Denuded of leaves, the top branches appear abnormally thick and erect, like upturned fingers (digitaliform). The tree remains bare for several months of the year.

It is best known for its golf ball-sized fruit, which it bears in profusion during summer. They 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 Marula tree is common in the lower-lying areas of Southern Africa, and is found, in abundance, in Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

漆树以其高尔夫球大小的果实最出名，在夏季的漆树上，漆树果果实丛生。

The fruit is rich in Vitamin C (c. 200mg/g). The fruits, which fall and accumulate beneath the trees in large numbers, can be eaten ripe, but are far more popularly used to brew beer.

Argan Oil vs. Marula Oil: Which Is Better?
阿甘油与漆树果油：哪个更好？

If you’ve never used either of these oils before, let alone even heard of them, you may have wondered what exactly they’re good for, and how they’re the same or different from each other.

如果之前你从来没有使用阿甘油与漆树果油，更不用说甚至没有听说过他们，你可能想知道，他们究竟好在哪里，阿甘油与漆树果油哪个更好是如何彼此相同或不同。

Argan Oil comes from a seed inside the fruit of the Argan tree in Morocco. This easily absorbed oil, often referred to as “liquid gold,” helps reduce fine facial lines and imperfections, works to restore elasticity and tone, and combats inflammation. Since it’s so lightweight, it’s a good all-around oil for the face, and many regular users also say it helps reduces acne.

阿甘油来自摩洛哥坚果树的果实内的种子。这容易被人体吸收的油，通常被称为“液体黄金”，有助于减少脸部的细纹和线条不完善，致力于恢复弹性和肤色，对抗炎症。因为它油质轻盈轻巧，它是一个很好的全能油脸，和许多普通用户也说，它有助于减少痤疮。

Marula Oil comes from South Africa, from the nut of the Marula tree. It’s often referred to as a “miracle oil,” because it eases the irritation from dry, chapped skin and helps reduce redness and scars. It also works on stretch marks, dry hair, and cuticles. Because it’s just a little weightier than Argan Oil, it also makes a nice massage oil.

漆树果油来自南非，从漆树果实的果仁获得。它经常被称为“奇迹油”，因为它可以缓解刺激皮肤干燥、皲裂，并有助于减少红肿和伤痕。它也适用于妊娠纹，头发干枯，和角质层护理。因为漆树果油只稍微比阿甘油重，因此也常常作为很好的按摩油。
