What Is Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil?
A non-fragrant plant oil that contains several antioxidants, including zeatin, quercetin, and vitamins A, C, and E. The oil is also a very good source of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that can replenish skin and help guard against moisture loss. There’s more: Moringa seed oil contains amino acids as well as plant sterols which can have a calming effect on skin. In short, it’s one of the better plant oils for skin, and its monounsaturated fat content gives it a lighter, less greasy feel than highly saturated oils like coconut.
