As a powerful anti-oxidant and detoxifier, moringa oil can be very beneficial. When applied to the skin, moringa can unlock your own natural moisturisers while the behenic acid it contains will provide protection against further damage. The fatty acids will also leave your hair feeling soft, supple and shining with good health. When rubbed onto the body, moringa can reduce pain caused by inflammation and ease swelling, making it ideal for arthritic conditions.
