What it is
This ingredient is a combination of oil from the seeds of the moringa tree (Moringa oleifera) together with hydrogenated esters derived from the same oil. The blend functions as an emollient, leaving skin feeling soft and smooth and helping to support the lipid feel of a formula. Moringa oil is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, contributing to its conditioning character.
Safety & warnings
Moringa-derived emollients are generally well tolerated and the high oleic acid content makes the base oil relatively low on comedogenicity scales, though very acne-prone individuals may prefer to patch test rich emollients. It is not a fragrance allergen.
Origin & sourcing
Plant-derived; based on moringa seed oil from Moringa oleifera, with a portion hydrogenated and esterified to modify texture and stability.
