MORINGA OIL (50ml)
Moringa Oil contains substantial amount of Behenic Acid (3.0 to 10.0%), the reason why the oil is known commercially as Ben
or Behen
Oil. This fatty acid is a strong conditioning agent that helps to smooth and hydrate hair follicles and is commonly found in shampoos and conditioners.
REPORTED BENEFITS AND USES
Suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin, Moringa Oil leaves lasting moisture without leaving a greasy residue or clogging pores. The fatty acid profile of Moringa Oil makes it a deeply nourishing and indulgent option for natural skincare products, its application leaving behind a very smooth, almost velvety finish. Moringa Oil is a fantastic addition to moisturising products as it heals and maintains the outer layer of the epidermis whilst nourishing the deeper layers of skin, meaning moisture is retained for longer.
Conditioning and soothing, Moringa Oil is also a great option for mature skin or those areas that will benefit from a bit of extra moisturizing. Its ability to repair skin that is damaged, dry, or aging makes it an ideal ingredient in skin care cosmetics. Its anti-bacterial properties protect the scalp against bacteria that contribute to conditions such as scalp psoriasis and scalp eczema, and it relieves redness, itchiness, and inflammation associated with these conditions. Moringa Oil balances the scalp's pH level and counteracts greasiness.
- Calms Swelling: Moringa oil contains plant compounds like vitamin E that reduce redness and itching.
- Repairs Skin: It helps your skin build healthy new cells to heal a damaged barrier.
- Fights Germs: It has natural antibacterial properties. This stops harmful bacteria (like staph) from infecting scratched skin.
Moringa oil is used topically and internally to relieve joint discomfort. It is packed with plant compounds that block pain and swelling. To use it, rub a few drops directly into your sore joints.
- Stops Swelling: Moringa oil contains antioxidants like quercetin. These act like natural sponges. They soak up the chemicals your body releases when joints are inflamed.
- Relieves Pain: The oil has analgesic (pain-relieving) properties. It blocks pain signals to help you move easier.
- Protects Cartilage: Research shows moringa may protect the smooth tissue at the ends of your bones from breaking down.
