Moringa Oil
Common Name: Moringa Oil
Botanical Name: Moringa oleifera seed oil
Organic, cold-pressed Moringa Oil is extracted from the seeds of the Moringa oleifera tree, often referred to as the “miracle tree” for the abundance of nourishment it offers. For centuries, this golden oil has been treasured in Ayurvedic and traditional medicine for its deeply restorative properties. Rich and luxurious in texture, Moringa Oil carries a grounding presence that makes her a true ally for rest, renewal and skin nourishment.
The Plant Behind the Oil…
The Moringa oleifera tree is native to the Himalayan foothills and is now cultivated in many parts of the world for its exceptional nutritional and medicinal benefits. The seeds, when pressed, yield a dense, golden oil that is especially beloved for skincare.
Breaking Down the Botanical…
Moringa Oil is rich in:
Vitamin A – supports cellular turnover, renewal, and repair.
Vitamin C – brightens the skin and boosts collagen production.
Vitamin E – protects against free radical damage and helps restore skin balance.
Oleic Acid (Omega-9) – deeply hydrating, helping the skin feel soft and supple.
Zinc – supports healing and strengthens the skin barrier.
Her Unique Texture
Because she is abundant in oleic acid and natural plant waxes, Moringa Oil often feels thick, dense, or even slightly “bitsy” in texture. This is simply the expression of her natural character: when cooled, her fatty acids can crystallize, creating a grainy feel that dissolves easily with the warmth of your skin. Rather than a flaw, it is a true sign of her purity and potency, and part of what makes her so deeply nourishing. Before each use, simply give your bottle a gentle shake - or warm her between your palms - to awaken her full power and invite her nutrients into harmony.
This nourishing botanical is featured in our Rest Face Oil. With her grounding presence, she offers your skin deep repair and hydration, soothing inflammation, softening fine lines, and supporting regeneration while you rest. She is a reminder to slow down and let your ritual be an act of devotion - restoring both skin and spirit.
