About
INCI Name
Moringa Oleifera Leaf Powder / Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil
Origin
Plant-derived. Moringa oleifera is native to India and is widely cultivated and used in tropical and subtropical regions. The leaves are harvested, air-dried, and ground into a fine powder, while the seeds are cold-pressed to extract the oil — also known as Ben oil.
Key Skin Benefits
Antioxidant protection — Moringa extract is rich in antioxidants including vitamin C, flavonoids, and polyphenols, which play an important role in fighting oxidative damage to the skin caused by external factors such as pollution and UV exposure.
Anti-ageing — Research confirms moringa leaves possess good activities against skin ageing-related enzymes including collagenase and elastase, suggesting it is a very promising natural source of anti-ageing agents for skincare
Hydration & barrier support — The essential fatty acids found in moringa seed oil, such as oleic and linoleic acids, are highly effective in repairing the skin barrier, maintaining moisture, and preventing trans-epidermal water loss.
