Formulation Deep Dive
The Universal Face Oil by MARA is formulated as a high-performance anhydrous nutrient delivery system designed to support skin barrier integrity and radiance. The base utilizes a sophisticated lipid profile led by Moringa Oleifera (Moringa) Seed Oil and Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, integrated with Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride to ensure rapid dermal penetration and a lightweight, non-comedogenic finish. Active performance is driven by a synergistic marine complex featuring Alaria Esculenta (Algae) Extract and Plankton Extract, which work in tandem with Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Seed Oil and Adansonia Digitata (Baobab) Seed Oil to provide essential fatty acids and antioxidant protection. The formulation maintains oxidative stability through the inclusion of Tocopherol (Vitamin E) and a strategic blend of botanical oils, circumventing the need for traditional aqueous preservatives while ensuring a long-term clinical shelf life.
