Our Favorite DIYs with Moringa Oil: Eyelash Strengthening Serum, Lip Balm, Exfoliating Scrub & More!

One thing we love about moringa oil - it's the ultimate multitasker! It's packed with nutrients and fatty acids to nourish and protect on its own, but it's also perfect for formulating with other ingredients. In cosmetic formulation jargon, moringa oil has a high 'slip' and a low 'spread,' meaning it lubricates and stays where you want it. Rich in behenic, linoleic, and oleic acid, it penetrates deep into to skin and keeps it moisturized long after application. 

tl;dr - moringa oil is a skincare formulator's dream, and the perfect ingredient to add to your DIY recipes. Here are a few of our favorites!
