Moringa Oil is obtained by cold-pressed extraction of moringa oleifera seeds. This premium organic Moringa Oil is 100% pure, USDA, unrefined, virgin and free of solvents, additives. Moringa oil is also known as Ben Oil, due to the high amounts of behenic acid (up to 9%). Behenic acid, a saturated fatty acid, is often used in moisturizers, hair conditioners and lubricating oils. Behenic acid’s conditioning properties help to keep skin and hair soft and smooth. No other oil comes close to that level of behenic acid.
Moringa Oil is rich in fatty acids, such as Vitamin E and Oleic Acid which are hugely beneficial for slowing the aging process down and promoting collagen production. Moringa oil is made of up to 72% oleic acid (C18:1) which is a monounsaturated, omega-9 fatty acid. This high concentration of oleic acid gives the oil excellent moisturizing characteristics, as well. Some studies claim that Moringa improves libido and stamina. It is also used in Siddha medicine for the same purpose. The Moringa plant, which can be taken as a tea, tablet/capsule, powder, or oil format, is said to help the body recover after exercise and is rich in zeatin, a plant hormone which has an anti-aging effect on skin cells. Moringa Oil contains 1,700 antioxidants and is considered by experts to be one of " the greatest cosmetic oils ever discovered".
Moringa Oil is rich in Vitamin C serum which can help regulate oil secretion, reverse sun damage, and fights skin issues like eczema and blemishes. Moringa Oil has been used as makeup remover for sensitive skin and is very effective as an eye makeup removal and lip moisturizer balm lotion. It absorbs quickly and is gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin types.
Some anti-aging propertities include:
- Rejuvenates dull, tired and aging skin.
- Antioxidants & nutrients help fight free radical damage that can cause skin tissue damage and lead to the formation of wrinkles.
- Helps improve the appearance of wrinkles and prevents sagging of facial muscles.
- Contains hormones called cytokinins, which help promote cell growth and delay damage and destruction of skin tissues.
- Vitamin C content stabilizes collagen and helps reduce fine lines and repair damaged skin cells.
- Moringa oil’s oleic acid makes it beneficial when used topically as a cleansing agent, and as a moisturizer for skin and hair.
Moringa oil is chock-full of vitamins A, C, and E. Nutritionally speaking, it contains 4 times more Vitamin A than carrots, 7 times more Vitamin C than oranges, more potassium than bananas, more iron than spinach, as much protein as eggs, and more calcium and protein than milk.
Moringa oil is a stable raw material with a high resistance to oxidation and rancidity for several years. It is recommended in massage and aromatherapy since it spreads so easily on the skin without leaving a greasy residue. Moringa oil has also be used in cooking and for industrial purposes such as a lubricant for metals.
