For centuries African women have revered the therapeutic benefits of
marula oil, using it to treat wounds prevent scars and hydrate their skin which
is constantly exposed to Africa's harsh sun
The three founders of Marula-The Leakey Collection
came together for their shared a belief in the healing benefits
of pure marula oil from East Africa
Philip and Katy Leakey live and breathe the Marula brand every single day
They live alongside their partners in Kenya
The rural East African women who wild harvest the marula fruit
hand cut the nuts inside the fruit
and hand selects only the
the fresh white kernels that are then cold pressed for the purest oil possible
This is not a simple donation they make, it is their life.
Two years ago the Leakey's took their first marula oil to Doctor Ashton Kaidi
a well-known plastic surgeon in Newport Beach, California
He joined Philip and Katie as a partner to launch Marula Oil-The Leakey
Collection
Together they are committed to bringing beauty to the lives of women around the
world, launching Marula-The Leakey Collection in February 2012
Marula-The Leakey Collection is a light powerful and highly effective
treatment developed specifically for the face and neck
It is the perfect trifecta in a facial productswith three key points of
difference
the first is beauty innovation
pure marula facial oil is multi-functional for maximum benefits
next is the scientific validation. Marula oil is clinically proven and doctor
endorsed
Third is the Fair Trade and sustainability
Marula-The Leakey Collection supports rural families in East Africa
who produce it using sustainable harvesting practices
the first point of difference is in the beauty innovation
Marula-The Leakey Collection is an anti-aging anti-bacterial soothing
treatment for stressed skin
Marula-The Leakey Collection pure marula facial oil is ninety nine percent pure
marula oil
plus one-percent essential oil blend
creating a total
sensory experience
note the self-actuating pipette
when you unscrew the cap the glass pipette fills with oil
see the pop up? This allows you to apply the oil drop by drop
specially targeted for the face and neck
our marula oil contains
higher levels of anti-oxidants
and fatty acids
higher levels of antioxidants means that have superior anit-aging benefits
including more advanced protection against environmental stressors
and free radicals which could lead to wrinkles fine lines and other signs of
premature ageing
Use just three to five drops alone
as an anti-aging moisturizer or add two to three drops to your cleanser
eye cream masque or color foundation to boost their benefits
higher levels of fatty acids resulting lightning fast absorption and deep hydration
it drives to a satiny matte finish immediately with no greasy residue
because of its quick absorption Marula is also a perfect for prepping the skin for
makeup
Marula-The Leakey Collection also has an natural anti-bacterial properties
making a suitable for all skin types
including oily skin
the second key point of difference is that Marula-The Leakey Collection is
scientifically validated through clinical tests
plus it is doctor endorsed
Marula-The Leakey Collection was tested in an independent lab
and was found to have the highest content in anti-oxidants
and fatty acids like Omega 9
versus other oils tested
Dr. Kaidi also clinically tested marula on post radiation breast
cancer patients
and found that not only was it soothing and the hydrating but
it also reduced the redness and swelling faster
than the treatment most normally
used
And so to that end I undertook a study with twenty four patients
We took half of them and treated them within aloe based moisturizer
Took the other half and treated them with marula oil and we compared the
results. The Marula oil patients
did better. They had more calming and soothing to their skin, the redness
resolved more quickly
They had quicker healing of their skin and so over all that became very
convincing that not only was it good good in terms of anti aging
there was also a lot of healing properties to the oil
In reviewing these results Doctor Kaidi realized that if Marula oil -The
Leakey Collection was so beneficial
to such severe skin damage
The opportunity for Marula as an anti-aging product would be tremendous
The third key point of difference is that Marula is a Fair Trade product and uses only
sustainable practices
The production of Marula oil provides a rural Eas tAfrican women an
essential sustainable source of income with which they feed,
clothes and educate their families
Workers are provided affair living wage they participate in the decision making
process
and reinvestment goes back into the community
to support additional programs such as the women's health initiative and schools
Katy and Philip Leakey along with Doctor Ashton Kaidi are
committed to providing a bridge between the women in East Africa and western
women
bringing beauty to their lives

Leakey Collection
