Where does Moringa Oil come from?

The Moringa Oleifera tree is native to the Himalayan foothills of India and Pakistan and is also found in parts of the Amazon. This tree grows long pods of seeds which contain high levels of B vitamins and Vitamin C. 

Moringa Oil is extracted by cold pressing the seeds of the Moringa Oleifera tree. Seeds have an outer hull protecting an inner seed kernel, which on average, contains 40% oil by weight. Approximately 1,000 Moringa seeds are required to produce 2 oz (60 ml) of cold pressed oil, hence why the value of this particular oil is relatively higher than other oils.

Moringa's potent antioxidant profile, which gives the oil its remarkable stability, is also the reason it’s included in some of the best skin moisturisers, anti-aging creams, and other skin health products around the world. 

 

 

Over 2 Years Shelf Life

Moringa oil is one of the most stable oils. It hardly gets rancid and can be used for many years. Though it is extracted using various processes, the healthiest one is the cold pressed oil which is what is used in Ritual Oils. It is denser, has more colour and even more taste than filtered or solvent extracted oils.

Ritual Oils absorb well deep into the 7 layers of the skin to nourish your very essence.

 Moringa Oil is a super-food for the skin. There's no oil quite like it.
