Moringa oil has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and beauty regimes. Extracted from the seeds of the moringa tree, it is packed in antioxidants, vitamins and fatty acids. Its anti-inflammatory and moisturising properties nourish, hydrate and protect the skin.
The anti-fungal and antibacterial properties of moringa mean that it is great for calming and repairing skin and reducing inflammation. Moringa contains a plethora of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, which can boost elastin production and collagen. It can be used daily as part of a good skin care routine, to cleanse and moisturise.
Moringa oil is known to have been used by the Romans and Greeks who crushed the oil from seeds before applying it in ointments and lotions and for making perfume. It is also believed to have been used by the ancient Egyptians to protect themselves against the desert sun and sand.
It is also used as a hair conditioner to promote hair growth, strengthen hair and prevent split ends.
