Moringa Oil (Moringa Oliefera)

Botanical Name: Moringa oleifera

Extraction Method: Cold Pressed

Processing Type: Unrefined

Obtained From: Seeds

Origin: India

Description: Moringa Carrier Oil is derived from the seeds of the exotic Moringa Oleifera tree (also known as 'The Drum Stick Tree') native to the Himalayan regions of India. Due to the high levels of Behenic Acid in Moringa Oleifera Oil, it has also earned the nicknames Ben Oil and Behen Oil. Rich in moisture as well as vitamins B and C, this oil is known to nourish, condition, and exfoliate the skin while enhancing the complexion's radiance. It is also a rich source of antioxidants, helping to minimize the appearance of the signs of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles. Its emollience promotes easy spreadability on the skin and the hair, leaving both looking and feeling softer, smoother, and more lustrous.

Color: Light yellow

Aromatic Description: This oil has a strong characteristic scent.

Common Uses: Moringa Oil is often used in massage blends for relaxing massages, including full body and head massages. It is reputed to induce sleep and instill a sense of calm and balance. When added to body scrubs and soaps, Moringa Oil helps optimize their cleansing and exfoliating properties. Moringa Oil's absorption of fragrance compounds makes it an ideal enfleurage foundation, which also makes it an ideal base ingredient for perfume formulations, such as those involving essential oils with floral, nutty, herbal, or spicy aromas.
