Sclerocarya birrea
Southern African tree revered across multiple cultures; bark used for antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory purposes; oil from seeds is prized for skin care.
Sclerocarya birrea (marula) is a Southern African tree whose bark and seed oil are used traditionally for antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and skin health. Key active compounds include gallotannins, catechins, vitamin C, oleic acid, and beta-sitosterol, which contribute to antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory effects.
Bark gallotannins and catechins inhibit bacterial growth by disrupting cell membranes and chelating iron. Anti-inflammatory effects are mediated via inhibition of COX-2 and NF-κB pathways, reducing prostaglandin and cytokine production. Oleic acid in seed oil enhances skin barrier function and provides moisturization. Beta-sitosterol may modulate immune responses and reduce cholesterol absorption.
