It is native to the Himalayan areas of India and its greatest diffusion concerns the tropical and equatorial areas of the planet. It can reach 10 meters in height and is characterized by white flowers and emerald green leaves. The fruit is similar to a pod which, when ripe, opens into three flaps releasing the seeds, where the almond is found, very rich in oil.

Moringa oil is highly appreciated by the cosmetic industry because, in addition to being very rich in active ingredients, it is also very light: for this reason, the creams that contain it are spread easily without being sticky at all. It is rich in numerous protein substances including palmitoleic, oleic and linoleic acid, vitamins A and C and its sweet taste is perfectly suitable for human nutrition. This oil has the ability to improve skin elasticity. The precious substances it contains help to inhibit the activity of free radicals that cause wrinkles, dry or flaky skin. Thanks to its therapeutic antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it can help heal minor cuts, bruises, insect bites, burns or rashes faster. Moringa oil also has a deodorant effect, that is, it neutralizes odors. Therefore, it is also used for making soaps and other personal care products. At the level of the scalp it is able to help counteract the development of dandruff by strengthening the cells of the scalp. In particular, the oil strengthens the hair shaft and protects it from external agents.
