Moringa oil’s exceptionally high (73%) 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. Oleic acid also contains antioxidant compounds that can help fight free radical damage caused by environmental aggressors such as UV rays, the top trigger of premature ageing, helping prevent fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots. As an anti-inflammatory substance that stimulates wound healing, oleic acid can also help calm, balance and repair skin, even those with damaged conditions like eczema, rosacea and psoriasis. Oleic acid also contains compounds that reinforce the integrity of cell membranes.
Moringa oil is rich in vitamins A, C and E and antioxidants. These vitamins can help improve the elasticity of skin, plus vitamin C particularly helps repair damaged skin cells, while antioxidants 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.
It is a very stable oil, resistant to oxidisation.
