Moringa Seed Oil with Lavender and Frankincense

Moringa seed oil is a nourishing topical serum that deeply hydrates, promotes a healthy aging process, softens and plumps the skin, prevents acne, and offers relief from inflammatory skin conditions.

It has also been researched as a safe, edible oil rich in heart-healthy and anti-inflammatory benefits. A recent pilot study suggested that taking moringa seed oil sublingually at bedtime improved sleep quality and decreased the number of times people woke overnight.

Each bottle of our cold-pressed moringa seed oil is derived from about 400 moringa seeds grown sustainably on our small family farm in Kona. The moringa seed oil comes from fully mature, brown pods whose seeds have reached their peak oil content. We cold-press these seeds on the farm. The oil is golden yellow in color and has a subtly sweet, almond-like flavor.

We ensure superior quality by meticulously controlling every step of the process from growing to harvesting to formulating.  Our process begins under our feet with nutrient-rich compost created on our farm. We tend to our trees organically and cold-press the seeds to retain their natural benefits. We make all of our artisanal formulations by hand in small batches to ensure the highest quality for you.

All of our products are safe, non-toxic and vegan. They are formulated without parabens, phthalates, petroleum, synthetic fragrances or color.

Traditional Japanese Wrapping Cloth, or Furoshiki

The furoshiki dates back centuries as a way to cover gifts, transport items and hold belongings—depending on the technique of folding and tying.  The cloth is 100% cotton, made from Japanese fabric and sewn on the farm. Unlike disposable wrapping paper, this 11" x 11" furoshiki can be reused by the recipient in their own gift-giving or their daily life.

We strive to make your gift-giving as easy as possible. We will send your present directly to your recipient, with a note from you. Just let us know in the “Notes” section if you would like us to add a personalized message on your behalf (To/From/Message).

All of our products are safe, non-toxic and vegan. They are formulated without parabens, phthalates, petroleum, synthetic fragrances or color.

Benefits of Using Moringa Seed Oil: 

  • Promotes a healthy aging process: Moringa diminishes wrinkles while smoothing and softening skin 1, while frankincense from the boswellia plant helps to heal sun damage 5
  • Anti-acne: Moringa reduces acne by diminishing inflammation and skin sebum 2. while being a proven fighter of bacteria4
  • Deeply hydrating: Delivers fatty acids that absorb easily into the skin, leaving skin dewy, not greasy. Moringa's high levels of oleic acid 7 are particularly well-suited for dry skin, locking in moisture and giving skin a natural glow.
  • Nourishing: Moringa oil contains naturally high levels of skin-boosting vitamins A, C and E. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin cell production, vitamin C brightens and evens skin tone and vitamin E provides extra hydration. These antioxidants scavenge free radicals 3 ; 6 to protect against UV damage, toxins and pollution. 
  • All-in-one serum: Not only can moringa oil keep your face looking young and fresh, but the oil can also be used to smooth and moisturize your hair. Due to its anti-fungal properties, you can also use it for athlete's foot and other fungal conditions. Its antibacterial quality means it can also be used to moisturize healing tattoos and burns.
  • So clean you can eat it, and we do! The anti-inflammatory properties of moringa seeds are not only higher than turmeric's, but are also more bioavailable7. We take two drops sublingually every day as an edible anti-inflammatory supplement and sleep aid.
