Tested for You: “Marula Oil Beauty Elixir” Facial Oil with SPF 30 by Revitasun
A facial oil with SPF is a good alternative if you don’t get along well with traditional sunscreens. These are often quite thick, difficult to spread on the skin, or leave an unpleasant, heavy feeling. As a result, many people aren’t as diligent about sun protection as they actually should be. In the long run, this can have serious consequences, as UV radiation can cause wrinkles, age spots, and other (sometimes even serious) damage, such as skin cancer.
The secret ingredient in Revitasun’s facial oil is marula oil. It’s one of the most exclusive beauty oils in the world. Marula oil is a valuable plant oil extracted from the seeds of the marula fruit. The marula tree, which grows to a height of 15 to 20 meters, grows wild mainly in southern Africa and belongs to the sumac family. Its close relatives include mango and pistachio trees.
Beauty elixir from Africa
The seeds of the fruit have a taste reminiscent of walnuts and are a prized food in Africa due to their high protein content. The oil’s color ranges from light yellow to golden yellow and orange. Its scent is fairly neutral, which is why it is often used as a carrier oil for oil blends or essential oils. In Africa, marula oil has been used for centuries in personal care.
It is rich in polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acids such as linoleic and oleic acids. Both have a soothing effect on the skin, as they stabilize the skin’s barrier, thereby hydrating the skin and keeping it supple. In addition, the light and quickly absorbed marula oil contains 60 percent more antioxidants than the much better-known argan oil. Its high vitamin C and vitamin E content also contributes to its anti-aging effect. This not only protects the skin from free radicals but has also been shown to stimulate collagen production.
The anti-aging multitasking facial oil
Revitasun’s “Marula Oil Beauty Elixir” facial oil with SPF 30, made with cold-pressed marula oil, offers many benefits for the skin. It provides intense hydration, valuable nutrients, and a natural summer glow. All true, but until now I hadn’t been a big fan of oil-based textures on my face. Too greasy, too occlusive, whatever… What finally won me over was the built-in SPF 30 and the oil’s light texture—lighter than many sunscreens.
I use the “Marula Oil Beauty Elixir” undiluted in the morning after cleansing. Alternatively, I sometimes mix a few drops into my day cream. You can even use it as a primer under makeup. Applying a few drops in the morning to gently cleansed and dry skin on my face, neck, and décolletage is all it takes to ensure I’m reliably protected from the sun without weighing down my skin. Plus, it gives my complexion a healthy, natural glow.
The facial oil is suitable for all skin types. Since it’s non-comedogenic (meaning it doesn’t clog pores), it’s well-tolerated even by dry, mature, or acne-prone skin.

To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it. It always attracts me to other cities, foreign countries, on roadtrips and places I don’t know yet. But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
