What is Moringa: the world’s most nutrient-rich source of plant protein
Moringa Oleifera is a tree native to the Himalayas that has been cultivated for thousands of years for medicinal and nutritional purposes.
The leaves of the moringa tree are the world’s most nutrient-rich source of plant protein, containing 92 distinct nutrients and all nine essential amino acids — including methionine and cysteine — compounds rarely found in plants. Moringa leaves can be consumed fresh, dried, or powdered.
HEALTH FROM THE INSIDE OUT...
Moringa has long been prized by diverse healing traditions, including Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine for :
reducing inflammation (36 anti-inflammatory compounds)
increasing energy (proteins, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, E & minerals calcium, potassium, iron, folate & magnesium)
boosting immunity and preventing free radical cell damage (46 antioxidants, isothiocyanate, flavonoids)
alkalizing and detoxifying the blood (circulatory stimulants)
reducing blood sugar levels (fibers, quercetin-3-glucoside)
Low in calories, fat and sodium, free of cholesterol and saturated fat, moringa is rich in both micro- and macronutrients, amino acids, vitamins, minerals and potent antioxidants.
HEALTH FROM THE OUTSIDE IN...
Moringa oil, obtained by pressing the seeds of the moringa tree, is a powerful salve for the skin and hair:
With a high oleic acid content of 72%, moringa oil penetrates very deeply into the skin, delivering vital nutrients and helping to retain moisture.
Moringa oil's antioxidants and nutrients help fight free radical damage that can cause skin tissue damage and lead to the formation of wrinkles.
The compounds in moringa oil stabilize collagen and reduce inflammation associated with eczema and psoriasis.
Moringa contains cell growth-promoting plant hormones known as cytokinins, including zeatin, which protect against the destruction of skin tissues.
HEALTH FROM THE GROUND UP.
Moringa is also a powerful tool in the fight to improve food security, soil fertility and livelihoods everywhere it grows.
Because of its low water requirements and fast growing cycle — moringa can be harvested only four months after planting, and every 45 days thereafter — moringa is ideally suited to combat malnutrition in drought-prone areas. With higher yields per acre than corn, rice and wheat, and deep roots that help stabilize and enrich soils, moringa is most deserving of its moniker the giving tree.

What it is
Moringa oil, obtained by cold pressing the seeds of the mighty moringa tree.
Moringa oil has been treasured for millennia. Ancient kings and queens used it to maintain a healthy skin and to be protected from the ravages of desert weather. Its many beneficial properties have earned it the nickname—"liquid gold”.
How it works
Moringa oil is clinically proven to have far more antioxidant power than other cosmetic oils. Moringa oil contains 46 distinct antioxidants which have synergic effects when combined. This blend of antioxidants and nutrients helps fight free radical damage that cause skin tissue damage and lead to the formation of wrinkles.
With a high amount of oleic acid content (of 72%), moringa oil penetrates very deep into the skin, bringing the necessary nutrients to the skin and helping it replenish.
Moringa 's plant hormones called cytokinins help promote cell growth and delay damage and destruction of skin tissues. The most potent cytokinin is Zeatin and Moringa contains thousands of time more zeatin than any other known plant. This is why moringa oil is credited to be anti-aging as it helps regenerate skin cells, accelerates the cross-linking of collagen, and boosts the production of elastin.
Moringa oil is also packed with anti-inflammatory and antiseptic compounds like ascorbic acid, kaempferol, quercetin, beta-caroten and sulfur, all key to maintain a healthy skin and fight acne.
How to use
For all skin types. A little goes a long way. Massage as many drops as needed into face and neckline.
Moringa oil is antiseptic and anti-inflammatory and can also be used to fight inflammation, acne or on cuts scrapes, scars, psoriasis and eczema.

Why are there changes in appearance in my moringa oil when temperatures drops ? Changes in appearance due to small temperature changes do not alter the properties of the oil. As soon as you get your oil back to room temperature—running the bottle under warm water if you are in a hurry—it will recover its original homogeneity.
