Moringa is also a superfood: the leaves and seeds are very rich in several vitamins, mineral and proteins. More than any other vegetable.
Originated from India and found in most (sub-)tropical regions in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Moringa Oleifera is a tree which is most likely to resist to climate change as it is very resistant to drought.
It grows easily and very fast. The water footprint of Moringa crop is smaller than other crops:
the estimated quantity for Moringa’s irrigation is 4188 m3/y/ha which is 2 to 4 times less than for other vegatables.
There is no waste!
All parts of Moringa can be used:
– Leaves (as food supplement.)
– Seeds (as a great oil for hair and skin care and as food supplement)
– The branches (for livestock feed) and the cake obtained from pressing the seeds van be used as green manure.
Application
Scalp health
Moisturizes the scalp, it helps alleviate dryness and itchiness of the scalp, and helps with hair loss by increasing the blood circulation to the scalp.
Hair Strength
The proteins in moringa oil can aid in strengthening hair strands and reducing breakage. This can lead to longer, stronger hair over time.
Protection from Environmental Damage
The antioxidants present in moringa oil, such as vitamin E, can help protect hair from damage caused by environmental factors like pollution, UV radiation, and oxidative stress.
Detangling and Manageability
Moringa oil’s emollient properties can help detangle hair and improve manageability, making it easier to comb or brush through.

Want to know more on the benefits of the specific Fatty Acids present in our Moringa oil?
Oleic acid
Oleic acid is the main fatty acid in Moringa oil with anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties. It has the ability to moisturize and nourish the skin, improve skin texture and appearance, and helps to protect the skin against environmental stressors.
As Oleic acid is very compatible with the sebum, it will penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin without leaving an oily feeling.[3][4]
Linoleic Acid
Linoleic Acid has been shown to have a large number of beneficial properties for the skin, including its ability to improve skin hydration, reduce inflammation, and enhance the skin’s barrier function. This fatty acid helps with the absorption of the oil deeply through the layers of the skin, without leaving a greasy feeling [5]
Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)
ALA has shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help to reduce redness, irritation, and inflammation of the skin. This makes it a potentially beneficial ingredient for people with sensitive or acne-prone skin. It also absorbs quickly into the skin.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA):
DHA functions as Anti- inflammatory and heals skin damages. It has beneficial effects on acne-prone skin [6]
Eicosapentaenoic acid
Eicosapentaenoic acid soothens, softens and replenishes the skin. It is a potential agent for the prevention and treatment of skin aging. [7]
Palmitoleic Acid
Palmitoleic Acid protects against infections by its anti-microbial activity. The production of Omega 7 decreases with age, so an oil rich in Omega 7 is ideal for mature skin. It also stimulates the reparation process of the skin.
Vitamines
Vitamin A
Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is a nutrient that is essential for a healthy skin. Vitamin A is a powerful antioxidant that helps to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. It can stimulate collagen production and help to treat acne.
Vitamine E
Vitamine E, also known as Tocopherol, protects the skin from damage caused by free radicals and UV radiation. It has moisturizing and anti-inflammatory effects. Vitamine E supports wound healing by reducing inflammation, improving circulation, and promoting the growth of new skin cells.
Other Fatty Acids
Behenic Acid
Moringa oil is rich in behenic acid, which actually gives this oil its nickname of ‘Ben oil’.
This fatty acid has many properties: emollient, lubricant, soothing and overall it improves the hydration (by forming a water repellent layer over the surface of skin or hair).
It is a good ingredient to add in skin or hair cosmetic formulations thanks to its function as thickening agent, viscosity adjusting agent, surfactant and opacifier.
Furthermore, the Behenic acid has good oxidative stability, which means it can help to extend the shelf life of cosmetic products by preventing them from going rancid.
Stearic acid
Stearic acid provides a protective and barrier function to the skin.
Palmitic Acid
Palmitic Acid is a stable fatty acid that does not oxidize and contains anti-microbial properties. It protects against environmental aggressions.
Miristic Acid
Miristic Acid is a light protective barrier similar to stearic acid. It helps the oil to be easily absorbed.
Arachidic acid
Arachidic acid can be applied as an emollient and thickening agent.
Eicosenoic Acid cis-11
Eicosenoic Acid cis-11 functions as a moisturizing agent, while maintaining a good balance of the oil in the skin.
