A few words on the composition
Moringa oil has large concentration of fatty acids, with cutting edge of oleic acid (68%), i.e. the most popular Omega-9 acid. Beside this one, are also present five other saturated fatty acids: palmitic (8%), stearic (8%), behenic (6%), arachidic (4%) and lignoceric (1,3%) and three unsaturated fatty acids: palmitoleic (1,5%), eicosenoic (1,4%) and linoleic (1%). Its composition is very similar to composition of olive oil, which is valued for its very good nourishing properties.
Beside fatty acids, moringa oil consists of many vegetable sterols (e.g. β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol and γ-Tocopherol), which ensure complex impact on hair structure. Phytosterols are natural antioxidants, which indicate anti-inflammatory, strengthening, regenerative and anti-allergic properties.

No wonder, that in the past the dishes with Moringa's leaves or fruits were served to people who were dehydrated, starving or exhausted - after all the plant has concentrated nourishing properties.
