Between its silky feel and quick absorption, marula is a natural fit for lip products. The Body Shop Born Lippy Stick Strawberry, $7, however, takes it to another level by using the nourishing ingredient in a product that tastes delicious (like strawberries) and also has a hint of color. Plus, The Body Shop sources its marula from a women's cooperative program in Namibia through a fair trade program -- so you can feel even better about enjoying this ingredient.

The melting cleanser category is a relatively new trend, and Clarins Pure Melt Cleansing Gel with Marula Oil, $35, is the hero product among them. It looks like a gel, then it transforms into an oil on your skin. Add water, and it morphs again, this time into a milky consistency. It removes makeup, deeply cleans skin and leaves behind a hint of moisture thanks to marula.

Carol's Daughter Marula Oil (Curl Therapy) Softening Serum, $18, can be used as a styling product or as a more intensive moisturizing treatment. A few drops can instantly define curls, but it's not heavy or greasy. Plus, you get the added antioxidant protection from the marula -- so it may even keep your color bright longer.

Lancer Skin Care is incredibly popular in Europe and a best-seller on Net-a-Porter.com. If you've yet to try anything from the line, start with the Lancer Intensive Night Treatment, $155. This ultra cushion-y cream feels incredible, and it contains a blend of botanicals and oils (including marula, of course), to moisturize skin and plump fine lines so you wake up looking younger and more refreshed.
