Description
Moringa Seed Oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of Moringa oleifera, sometimes called the miracle tree, and sourced from India. Historically known as ben oil, it is a pale yellow to golden oil with a mild, nutty scent and a smooth feel. It is high in oleic acid and naturally resistant to going rancid, giving it a long shelf life.
It is popular as a softening face and body oil for dry-feeling skin, and a little goes a long way on dry hair and lips. Use it on its own, add it to a massage blend, or use it as a base for a few drops of essential oil.
- High in oleic acid
- Leaves dry skin feeling soft and smooth
- Nourishing for hair and lips
- Naturally stable with a long shelf life
Pairs well with: Jojoba, argan, grapeseed, frankincense, lavender and geranium
