HOW TO USE IT

Skin Care
  • Moringa Oil is especially good to use for mature and dry skin and skin which has difficulty retaining its moisture. As it is an excellent emollient, it nourishes and moisturises the skin very well and sinks in without feeling greasy.
  • It softens the skin and keeps it more supple and resilient. A good choice to include in eye creams, facial serums and anti ageing products.
  • If the skin has been very dehydrated and looks dull and lifeless, Moringa Oil will bring a natural, healthy sheen to the skin giving a younger looking skin tone.
  • Blend with Moringa Oil with Omega 3 rich oils like Rosehip Seed Oil and Chia Seed Oil for even better effects.
  • A special quality of Moringa Oil is that it gives shine to the skin and lips when added to oil blends, face serums and creams. It is a good antioxidant making it excellent to use in anti ageing face creams and serums.
  • It’s a great oil for massage as it has good lubricating properties and makes the skin feel soft and moisturised. It lightens the skin feel of heavier oils like Shea Butter Oil and gives antioxidant qualities to the whole massage blend.
  • Good to use as a cleanser especially when blended with Castor Oil.
Hair Care
  • Moringa Oil is an excellent addition to hair oils and hair packs.
  • It moisturises the hair shaft and conditions the scalp and also adds a good shine to the hair.
