MORINGA
The Holy Grail of Skincare Ingredients
Deemed “the miracle tree” for good reason, Moringa Oleifera is arguably one of the planet’s most valuable natural resources known for its high nutritional content and skincare benefits. For centuries, Moringa leaves, oil, and other extracts, derived from the drumstick tree native to the tropics of Africa and Southeast Asia, have been utilized for medicinal and skincare purposes due to their potent antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.

Research shows there are over 46 antioxidants and 36 anti-inflammatory compounds all naturally occurring in the Moringa plant, many of which are found in the seed oil and the leaves utilized in our WonderTree products

VITAMIN E
Moringa + Shea means a double dose of naturally occurring Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent that promotes a stronger skin moisture barrier and helps make the skin healthier and look firmer and fuller.
DRY SKIN
Treating dry skin requires formulas with a higher concentration of hydrating ingredients. We use the emollient power of Moringa, Shea, and other ingredients like Coconut MCT oil to help prevent dry, itchy skin and treat flaky skin conditions.
VITAMIN C
The 100% natural and very stable form of Vitamin C from Moringa + Shea helps brighten the complexion, promotes collagen production for anti-aging, and is an effective antioxidant offering protection against everyday pollution.
DARK SPOTS
Our combination of naturally derived all-star Vitamins helps improve the skin's glow by evening skin complexion and reducing the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and discoloration.
ANTIOXIDANTS
Vitamin A, C, and E are key antioxidants for skin health and occur naturally in Moringa seed oil. Research shows these antioxidants help protect skin from environmental and sun damage and can play a beneficial role in preventing skin problems.
BREAKOUTS
Moringa's natural anti-inflammatory properties can hydrate oily and acne-prone skin without blocking pores or causing greasiness. Moringa, together with our unique Flower Extract Blend, helps balance sebum production, purify pores, and soothe irritation.
ESSENTIAL OILS
Essential oils contain special properties that can treat certain skin conditions. Moringa seed oil plus the power of Egyptian Lotus, the Sacred Lotus, and African Daisy helps soothe and replenish skin from head to toe.
HYALURONIC ACID
Hyaluronic Acid occurs naturally in the skin but decreases with age. The type of hyaluronic acid we utilize attracts and holds moisture to your skin without blocking pores or causing greasiness, and can help reduce dryness and the appearance of fine lines.

WHY MORINGA MATTERS
The Moringa Oleifera plant has value for human health, the environment, and the global economy
OUR HEALTH
Moringa is a nutrient dense plant of which the majority is edible. The leaves alone have approximately 27% protein, more than legumes and all essential amino acids. The leaves are also high in vitamins A and C, calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium and potassium. The seed pods and seed are a tremendous source of Vitamin C, protein, amino acids, calcium and potassium and contain a high level of antioxidants.
THE ENVIRONMENT
Moringa is especially valuable as an environmentally friendly, fast-growing crop that can “help to reverse deforestation and improve soil fertility”. Moringa trees grow at a rate comparable to weeds and the nectar of moringa flowers is beloved by honey bees, which provide 80% of pollination worldwide.
THE ECONOMY
Moringa is a functional plant in the agricultural system of many countries and has acquired a huge socio–economic importance over centuries. In 2016, the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) partnered with UC Davis to study Moringa's ability to support California’s mission to have better diets, healthier people, and sustainable farming.
