Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil is a lightweight, antioxidant-rich botanical oil pressed from the seeds of the moringa tree, used to nourish the scalp and add sheen without a heavy, greasy feel.
What Moringa Seed Oil does
Moringa is one of three oils that make up the anhydrous No. 2 Scalp Serum. It's prized for feeling rich but never heavy — it absorbs cleanly, helps the scalp feel nourished and comfortable, and leaves hair with a soft, healthy-looking sheen rather than a slick. It's the kind of oil that makes a luxury oil serum feel refined instead of greasy.
Under the loupe
Sometimes called "ben oil," moringa seed oil is unusually stable thanks to its high level of oleic acid and a notable amount of behenic acid, plus naturally occurring antioxidants. That stability is why it has been valued for centuries and why it resists going off the way more delicate oils can. In a scalp serum it delivers slip and conditioning while keeping the overall feel light, which is exactly what you want in a leave-on product that sits close to the roots.
