With an impressive nutritional and medicinal composition, Moringa oil is considered the superfood of plant essential oils.
Come and discover this green treasure carefully extracted from the seeds of the Moringa oleifera plant, rich in vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and antioxidants that can add great health and wellness benefits to your products.
Moringa plant oil is extracted from the seeds of the Moringa oleifera plant, often called the "tree of life" or "miracle tree" due to its numerous health benefits.
The plant has been used for centuries to help treat a wide range of ailments, from inflammations to bacterial infections. Precisely for this reason (and also thanks to its adaptation to different types of climates and soils), this tree, native to the subtropical and tropical regions of South Asia, is now cultivated in various parts of the world, including Africa, Central America, the Caribbean, and Southeast Asia.
The most common, efficient, and sustainable method of extracting Moringa plant oil is cold pressing which, as the name suggests, does not use heat, thus preserving the nutrients and quality of the oil.
The process is simple: first, the seeds are collected from the Moringa fruits, then they are carefully dried to avoid the degradation of the nutritional compounds. Next, they are cold pressed, after which the oil is filtered to remove any impurities or solid residues, resulting in 100% pure, high-quality oil.
Moringa plant oil has a color that can vary from light yellow to golden, a mild nutty aroma, and a composition1 rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (especially oleic acid), antioxidants, essential minerals, and vitamins A and E.
The seeds of the Moringa oleifera plant contain a significant amount of oil (up to 40%) with a high-quality fatty acid composition2 (oleic acid > 70%) and, after refining, a remarkable resistance to oxidative degradation.
In other words, Moringa plant oil not only retains its properties for longer but, being rich in plant oil, especially oleic acid (a monounsaturated fatty acid), can bring great benefits for cardiovascular health, skin hydration, and nourishment, among other advantages that we will discuss next.

The nutritional composition and medicinal properties of Moringa essential oil can bring various health and wellness benefits3. Among them…
Rich in fatty acids, especially oleic acid, Moringa plant oil can help deeply hydrate the skin and hair4, particularly for people with mature skin, dry skin, and acne-prone skin. It should be noted that this essential plant oil, rich in nutrients like zinc and vitamins A and E, can also help strengthen hair, combat dandruff, and provide greater softness and shine.
Thanks to antioxidants like vitamin E and phenolic compounds that fight free radicals, Moringa essential oil can help combat premature aging, softening wrinkles. For example, a study5 published in 2014 in the journal Advances in Dermatology and Allergology tested the effects of Moringa leaf extract and concluded that the skin texture of the participants improved.
The compounds found in Moringa seeds, such as vitamin C and other antioxidants, can help prevent bacterial growth, treat infections, reduce inflammations, and relieve joint and muscle pain6. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties can also help treat acne, eczema, and other skin irritations, as well as help reduce inflammation in the digestive tract, improving digestion.
Moringa oil can help control blood sugar levels7 due to its fibers and antioxidants.
The unsaturated fatty acids in Moringa oil can protect against heart disease8, as the concentration of oleic acid (above 80%) can help reduce bad cholesterol in the blood, a risk factor for various types of heart disease.
There is also evidence suggesting that the Moringa plant can help reduce cancer cells by up to 90%9, as it contains several compounds, such as eugenol, which induce apoptosis (the process by which the body gets rid of abnormal cells).
With antioxidants like vitamin E, vitamin C, and flavonoids, Moringa plant oil can help protect against free radicals10.
The use of Moringa essential oil in aromatherapy, for example, can help reduce stress and anxiety11, promoting a sense of well-being.
