This Oil Is Top Notch For Aging Skin, According To Research

Curious which serves the latter? Here’s an oil that holds the healthy aging title—if skin longevity is your main goal, make sure you have this liquid gold on-hand. 

These properties make moringa oil quite the MVP for smooth, youthful skin. In fact, one 2014 study found that using moringa leaf extract cream on the skin enhanced skin revitalization2 and supported anti-aging skin effects. And because moringa oil is similar to the sebum your skin naturally produces, your skin will eagerly drink up the nutrient-rich ingredient. It’s also an emollient, meaning it softens the skin by filling in micro-cracks—so it’s a great soothing option for inflamed patches of skin, too. 

It’s such a hero botanical, in fact, that we included it in our postbiotic body lotion and lip balm. Along with other skin barrier-supporting ingredients, like CoQ10 and pre- and postbiotics, the ultra-hydrating body lotion truly enhances the look and feel of your skin long-term—crepey skin is no match for this pick. And let’s not forget that your lips thin over time, too, and keeping them moisturized is key for a plump, soft pout. Moringa oil’s emollient properties help soothe and nurture extra dry skin, making it an exceptional ingredient for the delicate lip area as well. 

Oils can address pretty much any pressing skin concern, but it takes a bit of homework to figure out which nutrient-rich blend is right for you. Moringa oil ticks multiple boxes, so if you’re hoping to address dull, thirsty, rough skin, you might want to give it a go.
