Description
Moringa Seed Oil:
Derived from ‘murungai’, the Tamil word for drumstick, Moringa is commonly referred to as the drumstick tree.
It contains 13 species from tropical and subtropical climates that range in size from tiny herbs to massive trees. With a long history in traditional cooking and medicine almost every part of the tree has healing properties.
Moringa seed oil comes from the seeds of the tree and with its unique fatty acid composition in skincare provides considerable moisturising benefit that supports the skin’s vital barrier function.
Present day research backs up evidence of Moringa’s potent anti-inflammatory properties and curative behaviour in wound healing, wound closure rate, and reduction in scar tissue all in addition to it’s potent antibacterial, antifungal, and antimicrobial profile which protects against the growth of disease-causing microbes. Moringa seeds contain a natural antibiotic, known as pterygospermin, that is effective in the treatment or control of infection.
The combination of Moringa’s inhibitory action on microbes and the repair of any minor lesions which may be present provides a uniquely effective combination for the purification of the complexion with additional support in the form of the oil’s effective botanical composition and high vitamin E content which helps regulate protective cellular processes to optimise the permeability of the skin surface.
Ylang Ylang:
Star-shaped Ylang ylang (Cananga odorata) is a sweet-smelling yellow flower that grows on the Cananga tree native to the tropical nations surrounding the Indian Ocean, including India, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and parts of Australia.
It’s rich, fruity, aromatic floral scent is harnessed to make several types of essential oil, via steam distillation, with oils varying in scent intensity and respective uses from perfumes to skincare.
With its traditional background as a herbal treatment for headache and nausea to serious diseases and ailments such as gout, rheumatism, malaria and pneumonia, the therapeutic benefit of Ylang Ylang has been subject to much modern day research backing up the case for its indigenous use, showing in studies to alleviate anxiety and depression, lift mood, induce calm by lowering blood pressure and heart rate, also stimulating oil production in the skin and on the scalp as well as exhibiting protective activity against pests – killing larvae and repelling flying insects.
A powerful component for cleansing skincare, much of Ylang Ylangs potency is attributed to naturally present levels of linalool, a compound which has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties and shown to be effective at reducing common fungal infections such as Candida albican which can adversely present as rashes and other irritations on the skin surface.
