The Ancient Egyptian "Ben Oil" — Pressed from the Miracle Tree.
Cold-pressed from the seeds of Moringa oleifera — a tree so prolific in its tropical habitat it can be harvested multiple times a year and every part is used. Moringa seed oil has been used as a hair oil and cosmetic carrier since ancient Egypt, where it was the preferred base oil for perfumers and is referenced in historical cosmetic preparations. Its exceptionally high oleic acid content (65–72%) supports deep conditioning along the hair shaft, while its naturally high stability resists oxidation, making it a long-lasting botanical beauty oil.
How to Use
- Daily hair oil: 3–4 drops warmed in palms, through ends of damp or dry hair. Absorbs within minutes.
- Deep conditioning: Apply root to tip before washing, leave 30–60 minutes under a shower cap. Rinse and shampoo.
- Face moisturiser: 2–3 drops on clean face, morning or evening.
- Loc & braid care: Massage into loc roots weekly — high stability means minimal buildup.
