7 Surprisingly Simple Ways to Use Moringa Facial Oil

If you’ve got a bottle of our Moringa Facial Oil sitting on your shelf, you already know how soft, calm, and glowy it makes your skin feel. But what you might not know is how many different ways you can actually use it.

This one little bottle is packed with over 90 nutrients and 46 antioxidants. It’s cold-pressed from moringa seeds, lightweight, non-greasy, and gentle enough for all skin types. Whether you’re a skincare minimalist or someone who loves a longer ritual, this oil can do it all.

Here’s how to make the most of every drop.

1. Use it as a one-step moisturizer

Moringa oil is naturally high in oleic acid, which allows it to deeply penetrate the skin without clogging pores. That means it can fully replace your usual moisturizer. Just 2 to 3 drops pressed into damp skin after cleansing leaves your face soft, nourished, and glowing.

2. Mix it with your favorite cream

For days when your skin feels extra dry or sensitive, adding a drop or two of facial oil into your moisturizer helps seal in hydration. This technique is especially helpful in colder months or after traveling, when your skin needs a little more comfort.

3. Blend with sunscreen for a smoother finish

Some chemical or mineral sunscreens can leave a chalky texture or feel too drying. Mixing in a little Moringa Facial Oil not only boosts hydration but also makes application smoother. Plus, its antioxidants help support your skin’s natural defense against environmental stress.

4. Add glow to your makeup routine

A drop of facial oil mixed with your foundation or skin tint can totally transform the finish. It creates a more natural, radiant look and helps foundation glide on more easily. Because moringa oil is non-comedogenic, it won’t clog pores or cause breakouts.

5. Soothe dry patches and eczema-prone areas

Studies have shown moringa oil to be effective in soothing eczema and psoriasis due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It can be used as a spot treatment on dry or irritated areas, especially during flare-ups. Apply it gently to help reduce redness and calm discomfort.

6. Post-sun skin savior

Too much sun can leave your skin dry, hot, and inflamed. Moringa oil has been traditionally used in Ayurvedic and African healing practices to cool and repair the skin after sun exposure. Use it after your shower or cleanse to rehydrate and soothe the skin naturally.

7. Use it with gua sha or facial massage

Because moringa oil has a silky texture and doesn’t absorb too quickly, it’s the perfect companion for gua sha, face rollers, or even hands-on facial massage. It reduces friction, boosts circulation, and leaves your skin visibly refreshed and radiant.

Trusted by Nature, Backed by Science

With over 70% oleic acid, moringa oil mimics your skin’s natural sebum, making it ideal for all skin types from dry to combination and even acne-prone. It’s no wonder this oil has been used for centuries in traditional skincare across Africa, India, and Southeast Asia.

Our Moringa Facial Oil is cold-pressed in small batches to retain the full potency of the seeds. That means no added fragrance, no fillers, and no nonsense. Just a clean, nutrient-dense oil your skin will recognize and love.
