Very effective on curly or frizzy hair, Moringa oil is traditionally used to nourish, strengthen, and protect the hair, or to discipline and draw the curls of Afro hair. Its behenic acid content makes this cold-pressed virgin oil an exceptional capillary active ingredient, which sheaths hair and protects damaged ends. This soft and nourishing oil is also fabulous for repairing and softening dry and sensitive skin. In addition to its many benefits, its excellent oxidation stability makes it a very interesting oil in cosmetics.

Saponification index

Composition

Major fatty acid composition - gas phase chromatography of batch 19HV0206  :

  • Polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (PUFA or EFA) or vitamin F:  linoleic acid (omega-6) (0.8%)
  • Monounsaturated fatty acids (MIFA):  oleic acid (omega-9) (66.3%) , palmitoleic acid (2.4%)
  • Saturated fatty acids (AGS): behenic acid (4.4%) , stearic acid (4.2%), palmitic acid (7.0%), arachidic acid (3.2%)

Focus on behenic acid: linoleic acid is a saturated long-chain fatty acid, quite rare in vegetable oils. Poorly absorbed in the intestine, it is little used in food, but takes all its interest in cosmetics, thanks to the soft and protective touch it brings and its excellent oxidation stability. Its long-chain structure is ideal for sheathing, smoothing, and nourishing the hair fiber. It is to this characteristic fatty acid that Moringa oil owes its nickname "ben oil" or "behen oil".

Other active constituents :

  • Phytosterols (stigmasterol, campesterol, beta-sitosterol): restorative, protective and soothing
  • Tocopherols (alpha-tocopherol, delat-tocopherol, gamma-tocopherol) or vitamin E: antioxidants, fight against premature aging
