Moringa Oil

MORINGA OIL

Direct from the ‘miracle tree’ comes an all-natural, highly restorative and much-loved carrier oil, Moringa Oil (aka Moringa Seed Oil).

It’s said the ancient Egyptians once used the Moringa oleifera tree as a sun protector. Yet, this native to Asia and Africa has become a powerhouse in recent years due to its plentiful health properties. Extracted and cold-pressed, the seeds produce an oil that’s light in colour and texture, slightly nutty to smell and rich in all kinds of nutrients that benefit the body – particularly the skin. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and proteins, Moringa Oil suits all skin types and makes the perfect additive to your daily skin and haircare routines.

Widely used as a thickener and cleansing agent in cosmetics production, this oil is now found in the homes of DIY skincare and natural remedy enthusiasts everywhere. Apply topically every day for miracle skin and hair!

• Packed with proteins, vitamins and minerals like Potassium, Calcium and Iron, the nutrients in Moringa Oil can benefit all aspects of health and wellness.
• Vitamin C ensures naturally glowing skin, while Vitamin A helps stimulate collagen production, keeping the skin smooth and supple.
• The high level of Behemic acid in Moringa seeds forms a natural barrier to protect the skin against harmful environmental damage.
• An emollient, Behenic acid lubricates, moisturises and soothes the skin to restore its natural oils and improve hydration.
• High in Oleic acid, Moringa Oil can help fight premature ageing, preventing and smoothing out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Multiple bioactive compounds in Moringa Oil - tocopherols, catechins, quercetin, ferulic acid, and zeatin – contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Analgesic properties in Moringa Oil may help to reduce pain and inflammation in the joints and muscles.
• Used on the hair, Moringa Oil stimulates growth, nourishes follicles and adds volume and shine.
