Botanical Ingredient
Moringa
Moringa oleifera
Moringa is a fast-growing tropical tree, widely known as the miracle tree, though its genus name comes from the Tamil word murungai. Its leaves carry carotenoid pigments led by lutein, at roughly twice the level of beta-carotene, along with tocopherols and plant sterols. The oil pressed from its seeds is about three-quarters oleic acid and carries around seven percent behenic acid, the fatty acid that was first isolated from this very oil and named after it.

Did You Know
Moringa is not related to the trees it grows beside. Its closest living relative is the papaya, and both belong to the order that gives us mustard, cabbage and horseradish, which is why a crushed moringa leaf smells faintly sharp.
Our Sourcing
Moringa thrives in the warm, semi-arid conditions of North Florida and grows prolifically in InVine's Tallahassee garden. It is one of the fastest-establishing plants we grow, a seedling becomes a productive tree within a single season. We harvest the leaves young, dry them whole in the dark, which is what protects the fat-soluble pigments and oils, and slow-infuse them in organic cold-pressed oils.
Why We Use It
Moringa earns its place through what actually crosses into the oil. The leaf's fat-soluble fraction, its carotenoids and tocopherols, moves into the carrier over weeks of slow infusion, and it is what gives the finished oil its deep green gold. We cut the leaves young and dry them whole, which is what preserves that fraction.
