Forest & Kim Starr

Moringa was used in Ancient Greece and Egypt for beautiful skin. It is a potent antioxidant, and unlike many oils, it is remarkably stable. It builds collagen fibers, minimizes wrinkle lines, improves moisture retention, softness and smoothness of the skin. It is a natural emollient, and is helpful to eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis. It is also helpful for scalp circulation and split ends.

The stability of Moringa and its high vitamin E content extend the shelf life of whatever oils it is mixed with. I am enjoying Moringa in my lotions and creams. My skin feels silky and it does not add an oily feeling. I use it in all mixtures for eczema and psoriasis. It is gentle for use on mystery dermatitis’ of childhood; and in creams and lotions for those with sensitive skin.

Properties: Anti-allergenic, antifungal, antibacterial, antioxidant, antiseptic, antiviral, digestive, emollient, hepatic and tonic to liver and kidneys.
