Moringa Oil Benefits for Skin
Moringa (Moringa oleifera) is known as the "Miracle Tree."
This tenacious plant, a native to the foothills of the Himalayas, can withstand severe climatic conditions, including severe drought and frost. These extreme conditions may increase moringa’s adaptogenic potential making it the perfect skin superfood.
One study shows moringa seed oil may facilitate healing acute physiological and chronic wounds, accelerating the healing process, acting positively on collagen content and myofibroblasts.*.
Morning seed oil is found in our Alpine Phytonutrient Serum and is a skin nutrient powerhouse.
Benefits of Moringa Seed Oil
Recovery
Moringa seeds are rich in oleic acid (omega 9) and behenic acid which support skin barrier function. These fatty acids may reduce epidermal inflammation and protect the skin from cellular damage.
Restorative
Moringa seed oil has been shown in studies to help accelerate recovery and increase collagen content in the skin. It has high levels of vitamin A, vitamin C, B vitamins, and manganese.
Moisturizing
Morning seed oil is a natural phytoceramide that has been shown in studies to effectively boost skin recovery and protect against trans epidermal water loss (TEWL).
Anti-aging
Containing both phenolic compounds and glucosinolates, these phytonutrients provide powerful anti-oxidant protection from lifestyle-induced free radicals. Moringa seed oil may prevent premature aging caused by UV exposure and pollutants.
Soothing
Glucosinolates offer microbial and anti-inflammatory benefits. This phytonutrient calms and soothes the skin and protects it from inflammatory processes that may lead to accelerated skin aging.
