Moringa - the most nutrient-rich plant discovered yet!

Moringa Organic Carrier Oil is made from the seeds of the Moringa Oleifera tree (commonly known as the "Drum Stick Tree").

It is a Himalayan native that is widely grown in Asian and African countries, with seed oil content ranging from 35-40%. Moringa oleifera oil has a light yellow color and a mild flavor, indicating that it is suitable for both edible and non-edible applications.

What is Moringa oil good for?

Moringa Oleifera Oil is highly resistant to oxidation and can be used as an antioxidant to help commercial food oils last longer. Several studies were conducted to assess the therapeutic effects of Moringa oleifera seeds and leaves as herbal remedies.

Because it contains behenic acid, or docosanoic acid, a 22-carbon long-chain fatty acid that is perfect for cold-process soapmaking, bath bombs, body scrubs and butters, lotions, and conditioners, moringa oil is known by many different commercial names, including ben or behen oil.

The cosmetics industry specially extracts certain protein fractions from Moringa oleifera seeds because of their exceptional hair and skin conditioning capabilities.

This oil is known to nourish, condition, and exfoliate the skin while increasing the brilliance of the complexion. It is rich in moisture as well as vitamins.

The pragmatic effects are thought to be caused by a multitude of substances, including a wide range of alkaloid and sterol, polyphenols and phenolic acids, fatty acids, flavanoids and flavanol glycosides, glucosinolate and isothiocyanate, terpene, anthocyanins, etc. 

Moringa oil has medicinal and nutritional benefits for fungal infections, constipation, prostate function, bladder function, and as an antioxidant.
