Stories from Nature
Moringa oleifera is a tropical plant native to India belonging to the Moringaceae family. It can grow up to 10 meters tall. With its remarkable beneficial properties, it is also called the “miracle tree”—both for its well-known healing properties dating back to ancient times and because it can thrive even in very inhospitable environments.
In addition to containing a very significant amount of protein, it is rich in vitamin C (which helps strengthen our immune system) and many other minerals and amino acids, in quantities greater than any other plant.
Moringa Seed Extract is derived from its seeds—a highly prized oil used in food and cosmetics.
Benefits
Moringa extract acts as an invisible physical barrier that protects the skin and hair during exposure. Its main benefit is its anti-pollution effect: it prevents microparticles of smog, sand, and salt from adhering to the skin’s surface, keeping it clean and oxygenated. Extremely rich in vitamins, it is also a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals generated by UV rays, preserving hydration and radiance.
It is highly valued in cosmetics for its emollient, antioxidant, and moisturizing properties, which benefit the skin, hair, and scalp. It is also found in sunscreen products precisely because of these properties.
