Oils have been dominating the beauty product market for a while, now — think jojoba, coconut, argan and olive — but now, there’s a new kid on the block.

The African-harvested marula oil is gaining buzz, showing up in everything from hair treatments to products for the face and body. It comes from the nut inside the eponymous fruit and contains 60 percent more antioxidants than argan oil. It’s also extremely hydrating and doesn’t lead to breakouts. Here are a few beauty-miracle workers that contain the magic potion.
