Moringa oleifera · Cold-Pressed Extra Virgin Moringa Seed Oil · முருங்கை எண்ணெய்
The Luxury Oil Ancient Civilisations Fought Over — Now Cold-Pressed & Organic
100% organic, cold-pressed, unrefined Moringa seed oil. Known as “Ben oil” in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome — prized for perfumery, skin preservation, and mummification. Today, science confirms what the ancients knew: Moringa oil is 72% oleic acid (rivalling olive oil), loaded with antioxidants, vitamins A and E, and behenic acid — a rare fatty acid that conditions hair like almost nothing else. Lightweight, non-greasy, absorbs instantly. Apply directly to skin and hair without dilution. 100ml bottle.

Not an Essential Oil — A Luxury Carrier Oil
Most oils in our catalog are essential oils — concentrated, potent, and requiring dilution. Moringa oil is different. It’s a cold-pressed carrier oil extracted directly from Moringa seeds — lightweight, non-greasy, and applied undiluted to skin and hair. Its fatty acid profile is extraordinary: 72% oleic acid (comparable to olive oil), plus behenic acid (a rare conditioning fatty acid found in few natural sources), vitamins A and E, and zeatin (a plant growth hormone with potent anti-ageing properties). It absorbs in seconds without leaving residue.
What Moringa Oil Does
Deep Skin Moisturising & Anti-Ageing
The 72% oleic acid content penetrates deeply into the skin without clogging pores. Unlike coconut oil (which sits on the surface) or olive oil (which can feel heavy), Moringa oil absorbs fast and delivers moisture to deeper skin layers. The zeatin — a cytokinin found in Moringa — promotes cell growth and delays cellular ageing. Vitamins A and E provide antioxidant protection against UV damage and environmental stress. The result: plumper, softer, more youthful skin.
Suntan Removal & Skin Repair
Moringa oil is particularly effective at fading sun damage and removing tan. The antioxidant profile (vitamins A, C, E plus flavonoids) helps repair UV-induced skin damage, reduce hyperpigmentation, and restore even skin tone. Massage into tanned areas after sun exposure — the oil’s restorative compounds work overnight to visibly lighten damaged skin. With regular use, existing tan and dark spots gradually fade.
Hair Strengthening & Hair Loss Prevention
Behenic acid — the rare fatty acid in Moringa oil — is a powerful hair conditioner that smooths the cuticle, reduces frizz, and adds shine. But the bigger benefit is at the follicle: Moringa oil’s zinc, iron, and amino acid content nourishes hair roots, strengthens follicles, and may help reduce hair fall. Massage into the scalp and through hair from root to tip. The lightweight texture means it absorbs into the scalp without leaving hair greasy.
Premature Greying Prevention
Moringa seeds contain compounds that support melanin production in hair follicles. The oil’s antioxidants combat oxidative stress — a key driver of premature greying. While it won’t reverse existing grey hair, regular scalp massage with Moringa oil may help slow the onset of new greys by protecting melanocyte function. Combined with the strengthening benefits, it’s a complete scalp health treatment.
Dandruff & Scalp Health
The antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of Moringa oil help address dandruff, dry scalp, and flaking. The oil moisturises the scalp without over-oiling, calms itching, and creates an environment where dandruff-causing fungi struggle to thrive. For best results, combine with a few drops of tea tree essential oil (also available in the Moolihai catalog) for a powerful anti-dandruff scalp treatment.
Carrier Oil for Essential Oils
Moringa oil’s lightweight, fast-absorbing texture makes it an excellent carrier for essential oils. Dilute rosemary oil (for hair growth), lavender oil (for calm), tea tree oil (for acne), or any essential oil in Moringa oil for a premium, skin-nourishing base. Unlike heavier carriers like coconut or castor oil, Moringa won’t leave a greasy residue or clog pores — making it ideal for facial essential oil blends.
Three Ways to Use Moringa Oil
Scalp & Hair Oil Massage
Warm 1–2 tablespoons between your palms. Massage into the scalp using circular motions — ensure the oil reaches the roots and works through the entire length of hair, from root to tip. Leave on for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deep conditioning). Wash out with a mild shampoo. Use twice a week for hair strengthening, dandruff control, and hair loss prevention. The oil is lightweight enough for overnight use without staining pillowcases heavily.
Face & Body Moisturiser
Apply 3–4 drops to clean, damp skin after showering. Massage gently — the oil absorbs within seconds. For the face, 2–3 drops are enough. Use morning and night as a standalone moisturiser, or layer under your regular moisturiser for extra hydration. For suntan removal, massage generously into tanned areas before bed and let it work overnight. The non-comedogenic profile means it won’t clog pores — suitable for oily and acne-prone skin types.
DIY Hair Pack & Blending Base
Mix Moringa oil with coconut oil and honey for a deep-conditioning hair mask — leave on for 30–45 minutes, then shampoo. Add a few drops to any essential oil (rosemary, lavender, tea tree) as a premium carrier. Blend with aloe vera gel for a lightweight post-sun skin treatment. The neutral, mild scent of Moringa oil makes it compatible with virtually any skincare or haircare formulation.

Common Questions
This is a carrier oil — cold-pressed directly from Moringa seeds. Unlike essential oils (which are concentrated and require dilution), Moringa oil is applied directly to skin and hair without any dilution. It’s lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs fast. You can also use it as a carrier base to dilute Moolihai essential oils (rosemary, lavender, tea tree, etc.) for topical application. Think of it as a premium moisturising oil that also happens to be an excellent essential oil base.
Moringa oil has a similar oleic acid profile to olive oil (both ~70%) but is significantly lighter in texture and absorbs much faster. Unlike coconut oil — which is heavy, comedogenic (clogs pores), and sits on the surface — Moringa oil penetrates into deeper skin layers without leaving residue. It also contains behenic acid (rare in plant oils — a powerful hair conditioning agent), zeatin (an anti-ageing cytokinin), and a broader antioxidant profile than either olive or coconut oil. For face and scalp use, Moringa oil is the superior choice.
Moringa oil is considered non-comedogenic — its lightweight molecular structure allows it to absorb into skin without blocking pores. The oleic acid profile is moisturising without being heavy. Many people with oily or acne-prone skin find Moringa oil works well because it hydrates without adding surface greasiness. That said, everyone’s skin is different. If you’re very acne-prone, start by applying to a small area of your face for a few days to confirm your skin responds well before full-face use.
Yes — daily facial use is one of the best applications for Moringa oil. Apply 2–3 drops to clean, slightly damp skin morning and/or night. It works as a standalone face oil or as a serum layer under your regular moisturiser. The fast absorption means it won’t interfere with makeup application if used in the morning. For nighttime, it provides an overnight regenerative treatment. Daily use builds up the anti-ageing and skin-repair benefits over time.
Moringa oil’s antioxidant content (vitamins A, C, E, flavonoids) helps repair UV-induced skin damage and supports the natural skin-lightening process that occurs when damaged cells are replaced. It won’t remove tan overnight, but consistent daily application to tanned areas — particularly before bed — visibly fades tan over 1–2 weeks. The oil works by accelerating cell turnover and protecting against further oxidative damage. For faster results, combine with a gentle exfoliation routine.
For face-only use (2–3 drops daily), 100ml lasts approximately 3–4 months. For combined hair and face use (scalp massage twice weekly + daily face application), it lasts 6–8 weeks. A little goes a long way — the oil is concentrated and absorbs efficiently, so you use less per application compared to heavier oils. Moringa oil has an exceptionally long shelf life (up to 5 years) due to its high oleic acid content and natural oxidative stability — it’s one of the most shelf-stable plant oils in existence.
