Skin Benefits of African Moringa Oil
- Rich in antioxidants and nutrients, moringa oil promotes radiant, youthful skin
- Fights Skin Damage: Antioxidants like vitamins A and C combat free radicals to prevent fine lines, wrinkles and roughness (Ogbunugafor et al. 2011).
- Reduces Acne and scarring: Thanks to the anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial compound oleic acid, moringa oil reduces breakouts and minimises scarring (Estrella et al., 2000).
- Supports Wound Healing: Traditionally used in Africa to treat bruises, burns and wounds, moringa oil accelerates healing by lowering inflammation and preventing infection (Abdull Razis et al. 2014).
- Intensely Nourishes Skin: The light, quickly absorbed oil delivers essential fatty acids and vitamins to nourish and renew skin cells (Pant et al. 2021).
Hair Benefits of African Moringa Oil
- The same nutrients and antioxidants that benefit skin also strengthen and repair hair:
- Deters Breakage and Thinning: African hair thrives with moringa oil’s protein, zinc, silica, vitamin A, calcium and magnesium to reinforce hair follicles (Gopalakrishnan et al. 2016).
- Deep Moisturises: Moringa oil penetrates inside the hair shaft, while oleic acid smoothes the cuticle for extra moisture, shine and fewer tangles (Shetty et al. 2018).
- Encourages Growth: By boosting the scalp’s blood flow and nutrient supply and supporting keratin/collagen production, moringa oil stimulates new African hair growth (Junaid et al. 2015).
- With its stellar ability to restore skin and hair at the cellular level, antioxidant-rich moringa oil, sustainably grown right in Africa, makes an unparalleled natural beauty remedy.
