Insufficient Data / ANTIOXIDANT, SKIN CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING - EMOLLIENT

Moringa drouhardii Seed Oil is an emollient plant-derived oil, related to the widely studied Moringa oleifera, known for its rich antioxidant profile and fatty acid composition. It aims to support skin hydration, combat oxidative stress, and reduce inflammation, contributing to overall skin health and barrier function.

Summary

Antioxidant Emollient Anti-inflammatory Hydrating Skin Barrier Support

Science

Mechanism of Action

This seed oil, primarily through the properties observed in related species like Moringa oleifera, functions as an emollient by creating a protective lipid barrier on the skin's surface, effectively sealing in moisture and supporting the stratum corneum. Its composition includes antioxidants such as alpha-tocopherol and vitamins A and E, which neutralize free radicals. The high content of oleic acid (an essential fatty acid) further contributes to its moisturizing efficacy and helps regulate the skin's natural lipid balance.

Stability

The presence of behenic acid (up to 8%) in *Moringa oleifera* seed oil contributes to its inherent stability and extended shelf life. Formulations containing *Moringa oleifera* seed oil, such as a cream at pH 5.43 ± 0.04, exhibited robust stability in pH, viscosity, and rheological behavior across varied temperature conditions (4, 30, and 45 °C) over 28 days and through six heating-cooling cycles, indicating good stability within the skin's natural pH range and good oxidation stability.

Specific safety evaluations for MORINGA DROUHARDII SEED OIL by organizations such as CIR or SCCS are currently unavailable. It is important to note that *Moringa oleifera* Seed Oil has been reviewed by CIR within the 'Plant-Derived Fatty Acid Oils Group' and deemed safe for cosmetic use. While the FDA recorded an incomplete notification for *Moringa oleifera* dried leaf powder and seed oil as a new dietary ingredient in 2017 due to insufficient safety evidence for ingestion, its topical application as *Moringa oleifera* seed oil is widely considered safe in cosmetic formulations. The potential for irritation from *Moringa drouhardii* seed oil is considered low.
