Moringa Oil (Cosmetic) Manufacturer in Madrid - Shop Now

Scientific Name: Moringa oleifera

Origin: Madrid

Moringa oil comes from the seeds of the Moringa tree. Seeds have an outer hull protecting an inner seed kernel. The seed kernel contains oil . Oil is typically extracted by compressing the Moringa seeds in a screw press. Cold pressing the oil, which produces the highest quality product, also extracts the least amount of oil from the seeds. To extract more oil from the seeds, some manufacturers will heat the seeds and press or even use solvents. This practice increases the amount of oil obtained by nearly 24% but at the expense of the quality and purity level of the final product. Always be sure to look for cold pressed Moringa oil.

Approximately 1kg of Moringa seeds are required to produce 120 ml of cold pressed oil !

Moringa Oil Uses

Moringa oleifera oil is a light oil that is non-sticky and absorbs quickly into the skin.

• • Moisturizer: With the oil’s high oleic acid content, it makes for an excellent, non-sticky, skin moisturizer. It can also be used on skin conditions such as psoriasis or eczema and chapped lips.
• • Skin and Hair Care: Again because of the very high behenic acid concentration, the oil exhibits conditioning properties that help to keep skin and hair soft and smooth. The oil is very thin and spreads further than would be expected. Simply rub into skin or wash into wet hair.
• • Cleanser: Oil is reported to help eliminate acne and blackheads. It may also help remove spots from acne when used on a long-term basis.
• • Anti-aging oil: Due to the high anti-oxidant and behenic oil concentrations, the oil helps improve and rejuvenate the appearance of aging skin.
• • Carrier oil for homemade massage oils: With the properties described above, the oil makes for a great carrier oil in homemade massage oils.
• • Base for homemade perfume: Since the oil resists rancidity and has such a high oleic acid level, it makes an ideal choice for a perfume base. It also has the ability to absorb and retain scents and fragrances!
• • Enfleurage Oil: Enfleurage is a traditional method of extracting essential oils and perfumes from flowers with an odorless plant or animal fats.
• • Base for homemade soaps: The oil has been reported to make a good base for homemade soaps.

Moringa has also traditionally been a topical ointment for treating several different ailments. When applied to the gums, it’s said to eradicate gum disease. As an astringent, it kills germs on the skin, heals abscesses in the teeth, cures athlete’s foot, and heals warts and wounds.
