According to Green Virgin Products,
Our extra virgin Moringa oil is cold pressed from the seeds of the authentic Moringa Oleifera tree. It is USDA certified organic, and it is also food grade. Because of its unique combination of therapeutic properties our oil has high nutritional value and contains an abundance of bioactive compounds such as carotenoids, flavonoids, and polyphenols. It is rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids.
Loaded with 46 antioxidants, this oil provides you with the high-level antioxidants needed to protect you from the damaging effects of free radicals. Free radicals are present everywhere in your environment and are generated through toxins, pollution, and cumulative sunlight. They damage your cells, which in turn creates the basis for disease and premature aging. Antioxidants help prevent the oxidation of cells, and with it, minimize any damage as well as delay the signs of aging. Moringa oil also contains all of the essential amino acids, which makes it an effective product for giving hair that natural and youthful glow.
Moringa contains cytokinins. These are plant hormones that induce cell division, growth, and delay aging of cells by postponing the death of cells and destruction of tissues. The most potent cytokinin is zeatin, and there is no other plant that has a greater abundance of this plant hormone than Moringa. It contains several thousand times the amount found in other plants.
Moringa oil contains a wide range of vitamins, which help improve the appearance and feel of the skin. Vitamin A helps build collagen in the skin. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and is crucial for the health of skin, bones, tendons and muscles. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps form collagen and elastin and aids in reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and Vitamin E offers healing and anti-inflammatory benefits to your skin.
For the Skin
Moringa Oil's antioxidant and essential fatty acid rich formula provides the skin with a high level of protection from excessive free radical damage while simultaneously deeply nourishing and moisturizing even the most dry and sensitive skin types.

The texture is luxurious and velvety making it a joy to use. It leaves skin soft, supple, silky smooth, hydrated, and with the highly sought after luminosity that luxury oil lovers expect. In addition to using it directly on your skin by itself as a moisturizer, it can also be added to your favorite moisturizer to boost its efficacy. I also love to add a drop to my foundations and tinted moisturizers to add luminosity to the finish while providing the skin with added hydration.
In addition to being a highly effective oil for normal, combination and dry skin types, this is likewise a brilliant choice for acne prone skin because of its anti-inflammatory properties.

For the Hair
If you haven't yet discovered the benefits of using high quality oils for the hair and scalp, it is definitely worth exploring. It nourishes the scalp, hair follicles and hair. It also tames frizzies, and imparts a glossy shine to even the most stubborn tresses. When I use oil on my naturally curly hair, my hair is transformed from unruly and willful to gorgeous soft and shiny ringlets. It can be applied to wet or dry hair, but can also be used as a deep moisturizing hot-oil treatment.
Green Virgin Products asserts,
Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is a powerful antioxidant that is better known to support eye health. But it also plays an important role in promoting healthy hair. This vitamin supports the production of sebum, an oily substance secreted by glands in the scalp that help lubricate the hair. Vitamin A keeps your hair from drying out and breaking off and helps prevent dandruff, damaged hair and split ends.
Vitamin E is another powerful antioxidant that helps improve blood circulation in your scalp, which increases the absorption of nutrients in the hair follicles. The result is healthier, stronger and shinier hair. Moringa oil can also be used as a leave-in conditioner or hot oil treatment and does wonders for itchy, irritated scalp or damaged hair... It provides instant hydration and a shimmering finish and it nourishes weak, damaged hair.
