Organic Moringa
Originating in Indian regions, the Moringa oleifera tree now grows in over 82 countries and is one of the most cultivated plant species worldwide due to its unique natural properties. The Moringa tree is a fast-growing plant and is very resistant in dry conditions. It has slender branches with multicoloured leaves, numerous small white flowers, while the fruits consist of long pods in clusters, each containing about twenty seeds. In the Nile valley, women used the various parts of the Moringa to purify water and, since ancient Egyptian times, it has been known for its cosmetic usefulness, to improve skin elasticity and to fight skin infections. The cosmetic properties are contained in the oil that is extracted from the seeds of the Moringa. This oil is rich in tocopherol, which has an antioxidant effect, sterols, oleic acid, as well as stearic, palmitic, arachidic and beenic acid, which have an emollient effect. In addition, the seeds contain substances with antiseptic activity, in particular isothiocyanates and glucosinolates, which have a valuable purifying effect on the skin.
