Moringa oil’s exceptionally high oleic acid content means it penetrates easily and deeply into the skin’s surface, helping replenish natural oils and lock in moisture, making it an excellent oil for dry and/or mature skin.
Moringa oil is rich in vitamins A and E. These vitamins can help improve the elasticity of skin, and also act as natural preservatives, making it a stable oil resistant to oxidisation and rancidity, allowing for a longer shelf life. Because of this it is often used as a carrier oil in aromatherapy products.
Moringa oil makes for a deep penetrating moisturiser, excellent for night treatments.
Moringa oil comes from the seeds of the moringa tree, also known as the Miracle Tree and Tree of Life.
These days, moringa oil is praised as an all-around wonder oil, but it has been used for its health and beauty benefits for centuries. It was also used in Egypt to protect skin from sand and dust whilst travelling in the desert, as it helps heal the skin after sun exposure.
It's called the drumstick tree (UK) because of the shape of its seed pods, horseradish tree (US) from the taste of its roots, benzolive tree (Haiti), and nebeday (Senegal). In Nigeria, it is called the idagbo monoye ("tree which grows crazily").
