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.

Moringa Oil for Oily Skin?
Ever since I can remember, I have battled with oily skin. Oftentimes I would have to wash my face 3 or 4 times throughout the day just to minimize what seemed to be, endless oil production. It was frustrating to say the least. I tried countless products that were meant for oily skin in hopes that my face would stay less shiny throughout the day, but none of them worked. It wasn’t until...

Soothing an Eczema Breakout Naturally
If you’re an eczema sufferer you probably already know there is no known cure. Steroids are typically prescribed to keep flare-ups under control. But sometimes you may want to step away from the steroids or apply something on your skin in between steroid applications to keep your skin moisturized while fighting your eczema.
However, all of our skin is all different. What may work for one person may not necessarily work for another. Always test a patch of your skin to make sure it won’t react negatively. Here are some products you can try out to help prevent a new flare up.
Unrefined Sheabutter
Sheabutter is vitamin rich and full of fatty acids which help in skin regeneration. Unrefined Sheabutter can look intimidating but a little goes a long way. Break a little piece off and rub in your palms. The heat of your palms will melt the piece and make it easier to spread on your affected areas. Repeat as frequently as you need to.
Moringa Oil
Moringa oil is anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial. It is also known to draw out toxins from your skin. Both are great properties to help fight secondary infections of your eczema and keep the skin around it, that’s not affected, vibrant and glowing.
Neem Oil
Neem oil is a great antiseptic and moisturizer. But for some, using it concentrated directly on your skin can actually make your flare-up worse. Dilute Neem oil with a carrier oil before use unless you’re sure your skin won’t mind you using Neem oil undiluted.
Aloe Vera
You can purchase aloe vera gel or you can scoop the gel directly out of the plant itself. Either way, if it’s pure it should cool your irritation down because it is anti-inflammatory and also help you moisturize in the process.
While these products may help ease your symptoms our intention is not to recommend them in place of your doctor’s orders.

DIY Pedicure Tips and Tricks
Summer is upon us! The weather is getting hotter and it’s time to get your toes out. Here are a few things you can do at home yourself to prep your feet for the great weather ahead!
Soften
Start off by soaking your feet in a basin or bathtub. Use your favorite soap and warm water. We recommend our True Moringa Bath Soak. Relax and keep your feet soaking for five minutes. It will get your feet nice and soft.
Exfoliate
Scrub away those dead skin cells! We broke down the Dos and Dont’s for Exfoliating, so check those out for more detailed tips for this part. If you don’t have any foot scrubs, you can quickly make one by mixing our True Moringa All Purpose Oil with sugar or salt. Pay extra attention to your heels as you scrub away. Then Rinse off the scrub and pat your feet dry.
Cuticle Care
Take your cuticle oil (you can use our True Moringa All Purpose Oil for this too) and massage it into your cuticles. Use a cuticle pusher to gently push back your cuticles and clean under your nails.
Polish
The moment we’ve all been waiting for - color! But before you start applying your nail polish you’ll want to use a little acetone-free nail polish remover to clean off the oil on your nails from the soaking, exfoliating and cuticle care.
Apply one coat of your base coat to your nails before adding your color. Apply two thin layers of color. Let the first layer dry before adding the second. Finish off your polish by adding a top coat to seal the deal.
Relax
Gently wobble to the nearest chair or sofa and relax while you wait for your polish to dry. When your nails are completely dry moisturize your feet with something special. We recommend our Ultra Light Whipped Body Butter.
Your toes are now summer ready. You're welcome.
