Moringa oil’s healing and beautifying benefits were documented thousands of years ago. The Romans and Greeks used this edible oil extracted from the seeds for skin lotions, ointments, and perfumes. In Egypt, Moringa oil was used for protecting the skin against the ravages of sun, sand, and dust during the long travels in the desert. Perhaps this is the reason why people in these countries are admired for their radiant and youthful-looking skin.
Moringa Oil helps in cleansing, nourishing, and nurturing your skin naturally. It is often compared to other oils like Olive oil and Argan oil; however, Moringa Oil stands out due to its unique composition.
One of the main benefits of Moringa oil, which makes it a favored ingredient in the industry of cosmetics, is that it is rich in cytokinin’s, and more importantly, zeatin (the most potent plant hormone). Zeatin helps in promoting cellular growth and in delaying the process of aging by nourishing and supporting skin tissues.
The oil is also rich in fatty acids, such as Oleic acid, which is hugely beneficial for restoring the skin’s natural barrier to pollution. Oleic acid also helps in keeping the skin hydrated.
Moringa oil has antimicrobial, antibacterial, antioxidant, antifungal, and anti-aging properties. These help in aiding numerous skin problems, including the effects of aging like wrinkles, dull and lifeless skin.
