Enter in, moringa oil. It’s native to India, and beauty brands are catching wind of all of its benefits including healthy aging, balancing moisture, and speeding up the healing process of wounded skin. Intrigued, yet? We tapped two dermatologists to get the scoop on moringa oil and why it’s the multitasking oil you need, stat. “The oil is loaded with omega fatty acids and antioxidants, which have a variety of benefits to the skin from soothing irritation to reducing fine lines and wrinkles,” says board-certified dermatologist Deanne Mraz Robinson, M.D., FAAD. It’s also chock-full of moisture and works on the hair, skin, and nails. Moringa oil is also made up of monounsaturated fatty acids and oleic acids that promote a strong skin barrier (more on that later). It’s basically the multitasking oil your beauty routine is missing.
