Moringa vegetal oil
Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing tree that grows in tropical regions such as Togo. The Centre des Hommes community plants the moringa tree and transforms it for the benefit of its people. This tree is reputed to be a miracle plant that cures over 300 illnesses [ScienceDirecte.com, National institutes of health (NIH)].
Its protective, therapeutic and nutritional properties have led to it being called the tree of life. Moringa is used in cooking as well as in phytotherapy and cosmetics, and all parts of the plant are appreciated.
The leaves are eaten as a vegetable, considered a real super food for their richness in vitamin C, pro-vitamin A, calcium, potassium, iron and amino acids. The edible seeds are also used to produce a highly prized oil for skin and hair care. Rich in behenic acid, it is sometimes known as ‘ben oil’. It nourishes and softens dry, damaged skin, soothes sensitive skin and helps regulate combination skin. Moringa oil has excellent oxidative stability and does not go rancid easily, which is a considerable advantage for cosmetic use.
