Let’s start with the basics. Moringa Oil comes from the seeds of the Moringa Tree, also known as the Drumstick Tree or the “Miracle Tree”. Why is it called this? Because almost every part of the Moringa Tree — the leaves, flowers, and seeds from the drumstick-looking pods — can be used to cultivate well-rounded nutrition, and natural beauty. 

To get Moringa Oil, Moringa Seeds are harvested from the pods on the tree and cold-pressed in order to preserve the nutrients in them. And then Moringa Oil is used to craft products with scientifically-proven benefits for your skin and hair.

Your skin is the largest organ in your body. It’s also the most exposed. Every day, your skin serves as the barrier between the outside world and your internal organs, protecting them from external pollutants and harmful toxins. It also helps your body eliminate waste through sweat. 

In the beauty industry, we often see products that are labeled for “dry skin,” “oily skin” or “combination skin.” And there’s a reason for that: certain ingredients, such as salicylic acid, can be beneficial for managing oily skin and lactic acid can revitalize dry skin. 

Moringa Seed Oil is unique because it provides benefits for both dry and oily skin types. How? We break it down below.

It’s no secret that the beauty products you use have a direct impact on the environment. Moringa Oil is a natural ingredient that doesn’t negatively affect the planet when washed down the drain.. And while it’s great that Moringa Oil doesn’t harm nature, it actually does one better. 

Moringa Trees, from which Moringa Seeds are harvested to make the oil, are resistant warriors that thrive in harsh conditions where other plants can’t survive. Native to India, they now grow in the tropics and Africa in damaged and dry soils that are inhospitable to other life.

Why does this matter? In addition to growing where other plants can’t grow, the roots of the Moringa Trees improve the soil quality where they grow. Over time, the inhospitable ground where nothing else except for Moringa Trees could survive, transforms into healthier soil that can nurture other plants. 

Deforestation is a global problem that has drastic effects on the soil of our planet, making it impossible for plants to grow in it. Especially in the tropics, “the combination of steep slopes, high rainfall, and the lack of tree roots to bind the soil can lead to disastrous landslides that destroy fields, homes, and human lives,” according to Britannica. The roots of the Moringa Trees grow deeply into the ground and can hold the soil in place, preventing landslides. Over time, Moringa Trees have the potential to bring more soil back to its optimal state, reversing the effects of deforestation.
