Benefits and uses of Moringa seed oil

Moringa seed oil

Introduction of Moringa seed oil

Moringa seed oil is cold-pressed from the seeds of the moringa oleifera plant: a fast-growing, drought-resistant tree that’s native to the Indian subcontinent, but widely cultivated across the globe. The moringa tree has been dubbed the miracle Tree for its hardiness and abundant nutritional and homeopathic uses – all components of the tree, from its leaves to its seeds, to its roots, can be utilised for food, supplements, and cosmetic purposes.

Benefits of Moringa seed oil

It strengthens the skin barrier

According to board-certified dermatologist Hadley King, M.D., moringa seed oil is made up of 40% monounsaturated fatty acids, with 70% of that being oleic acid. “This combination makes moringa seed oil great for supporting the skin barrier,” King says. A strong skin barrier helps to keep moisture in and protect against environmental elements like sunlight, pollution, and free radicals. The stronger the barrier, the more healthy, balanced, and hydrated your skin will be.

It can help slow signs of aging

Antioxidants are a go-to ingredient for keeping those premature wrinkles and lines at bay. “Because of its high content of vitamin E, moringa seed oil has potent antioxidant properties,” King says. When it comes to aging, antioxidants help to neutralize free radicals that would otherwise damage our skin cells. One 2014 study found that the use of moringa leaf extract cream on the skin enhanced skin revitalization2 and supported anti-aging skin effects.

It can help balance moisture levels in the hair and scalp

Like almond and argan oils, moringa seed oil can help keep strands moisturized without weighing them down. And since it’s similar to the oil that our skin naturally produces, it can help balance sebum production on the scalp, too. You can massage the oil into your scalp or rub a dollop from root to tips for added sheen and hydration.

It may help with inflammation and wounded skin

Thanks to the omega fatty acids and antioxidants in this oil, moringa seed oil can actually help soothe inflammation and wounded skin. Robinson says that the vitamins E, A, and C in moringa seed oil can help heal active lesions, cuts, and burns. One study found that nanofibers with moringa extracts had better wound healing3 than those without.

It may help control eczema and psoriasis flare-ups

If you suffer from skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, you know how much of a pain (an annoyance) flare-ups can be. While there is no cure for these at this time, being smart about the topicals you use can help with the symptoms. “Moringa seed oil has antimicrobial properties making it a good choice for patients suffering from eczema flares,” Robinson says. moringa seed oil is also an emollient: It softens the skin by filling in micro-cracks, so it’s a great soothing option for inflamed patches of skin.

It soothes dry cuticles and hands

If you want to practice better nail and hand health, properly hydrated cuticles are a must. “Moringa seed oil is great for dry, cracked cuticles,” Robinson says. “It nourishes and prevents irritation from outside pathogens.” But while you’re there, don’t just focus on the cuticles: you can rub this hydrating oil all over your hands for a deep hydrating treatment, cuticles included.

Uses of Moringa seed oil

As a hair oil.

Use moringa seed oil post-rinse to hydrate dry strands and add shine, without weighing them down. And as mentioned, moringa seed oil makes a great scalp treatment to simultaneously moisturize and help balance oil-production. Massage the oil into your scalp (a la scalp massage) or work it into the strands, root to tips, for added sheen and hydration.

As a moisturizer

You can find moringa seed oil in a slew of creams and lotions (for face and body), or you can always just use the straight oil to seal in moisture on the skin. Simply warm it up between your palms, press onto damp skin, and feel your skin soothe. Or, you can add a few drops into your favorite moisturizer for extra antioxidants.

As cuticle oil or hand treatment

Dry, flaky cuticles, no more: Massage some moringa seed oil into your nailbeds to cushion them with moisture. Feel free to coat them in the nourishing oil whenever they’re feeling rough and dry—better yet, throw on some gloves and call it a hand mask.

Side effects and precautions of Moringa seed oil

Side effects from using moringa seed oil are limited but may include skin irritation, cardiovascular trouble and stomach problems. Pregnant women should also avoid use, or speak explicitly with their doctor before using this potent oil.

Blood Pressure

It is well known that omega-9 fatty acid can lower blood pressure, which is a good thing unless you are already taking blood pressure-lowering medication, in which case this can lead to dangerous levels of hypotension.

Skin

As with the majority of concentrated oils, topical use can result in inflammation or irritation on the skin, as well as redness or itchiness. Apply a small amount to a patch of skin and then wait 3-4 hours to see if any further negative reaction occurs.

Stomach

Consuming moringa seed oil is generally considered safe in small to moderate amounts, but an excessive use could cause inflammation of the gut or stomach upset, including nausea, flatulence, bloating, cramping or diarrhoea. As a salad dressing or a stir fry, you don’t need a huge amount of the flavour and health benefits to be delivered!

Pregnancy

Women who are pregnant are generally not recommended to use moringa seed oil, as it can have some effect on uterine contraction. In the first two trimesters, this could potentially stimulate menstruation, and increase the risk of a miscarriage or premature labour.
