Marula Baum

The Marula Tree

The Marula tree (Sclerocarya birrea) has been an important part of African culture and tradition for centuries. In Namibia, it is revered by indigenous communities, and its fruits are valued for their exceptional properties.

These majestic trees can grow up to 15 meters tall and survive even extreme dry periods thanks to their deep roots. Their resilience makes them a symbol of strength and endurance in the African landscape.

Tradition and Modernity

The precious oil of the marula nut has been used for skin care by Namibian women for generations. The fruits are traditionally fermented into Omagongo, a culturally significant drink.

The fruits are rich in Vitamin C – even four times more than oranges! They ripen between February and March and are wild-harvested, thus protecting natural populations.

Today, MyMarula combines this traditional wisdom with modern processing to preserve the purest and most effective form of this natural treasure.

Sustainable Sourcing

The processing of marula nuts is traditionally carried out by women from local communities. They collect the fruit, crack the hard shells, and extract the precious kernels.

This work is not only a cultural heritage but also an important source of income. MY MARULA works directly with these women's cooperatives and pays fair prices.

This not only ensures the highest quality but also supports the local people and preserves the valuable marula trees for future generations.
