Moringa Oil

Description

Moringa oleifera is currently one of the most well-known and widely used superfoods as well as cosmetic ingredients.

It is also referred to as the horseradish tree due to the pungent taste of its root or as the drumstick tree because of the shape of its mature pods resembling drumsticks. Originally from India, it spread through Arabia to Africa. Its rapid growth and the rich utilization of all parts of the tree, from roots to leaves, flowers, and seeds, represent a significant advantage.

They are rich in many minerals such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium, manganese, magnesium, zinc, and iron, as well as vitamins like beta-carotene, riboflavin, biotin, folic acid, and ascorbic acid, omega 3 and 6 unsaturated fatty acids, and proteins. Ayurveda has utilized moringa for thousands of years as a popular component in herbal mixtures for treating dozens of health issues.

Moringa powder and oil support the slowing down of aging signs. They particularly rejuvenate the skin when it is dull and dry.
