Frequently asked questions
Will moringa oil cause me to break out or feel greasy?
Unlike coconut, shea, or other heavier oils, moringa is featherlight and instantly absorbed. A non-comedogenic "dry oil," moringa permeates deep into the skin to deliver lasting moisture and compliment the oils your skin produces naturally. If you have oily or breakout prone skin, and you're sick of harsh, drying cleansers and treatments that strip your skin of its natural oil, moringa is for you!
How do I use moringa oil?
1. DAILY FACIAL MOISTURIZER
True Moringa oil is a perfect under-eye treatment to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles or a daily facial moisturizer to even and nourish skin.
2. MAKEUP REMOVER
Water-resistant mascara is no match for moringa oil! Alcohol-based make-up removers can be harsh and drying. Moringa oil is tough on makeup and impurities and gentle on the skin.
3. POST SHAVE
Rich in oleic acid, moringa oil penetrates deep into the skin to deliver lasting moisture. Apply to damp skin post-shave to soothe sensitive skin.
4. CONDITION & DETANGLE HAIR
Moringa oil is naturally packed with behenic acid to condition and detangle while promoting healthy hair growth. Leave in thicker, curly, or afro-textured hair, and rinse out of thinner hair.
5. SCARS & STRETCH MARKS
Moringa oil's powerful plant hormones and fatty acids minimize the appearance of stretch marks and scars, leaving skin soft and well pampered
6. CUTICLE CARE
Hangnails got you down? Moringa oil moisturizes to compliment healthy nail growth when applied nightly to the cuticles.
7. OIL CLEANSER
Whether you’re a one-step skincare routine minimalist or you’ve perfected your 12-step morning ritual, start and end your day with a gentle moringa oil cleanse to purify, moisturize, and nourish.
8. MASSAGE
Moringa oil is nature’s perfect lubricant - in cosmetic chemistry jargon, its high 'slip value' makes moringa ideal for massage. Use it on your partner, or treat yourself.
What are the ingredients?
100% pure cold-pressed moringa oleifera seed oil from the moringa tree. That's it! No additives, silicones, or dilution. Our scented moringa oils have just a few drops of pure essential oil.

who we are
In January of 2013, Kwami Williams and Emily Cunningham found themselves working in rural Ghana by different paths.
Emily was studying development economics at Harvard, frustrated by the disconnect between the information in her textbooks and realities in the developing world.
Born and raised in Ghana, Kwami and his family immigrated to the US at the age of 8. By 2012, he was living the American Dream having graduated from MIT with a degree in aerospace engineering and starting a career at NASA when a mentor challenged him to return to his native Ghana.
meet the moringa tree
It was here that the pair were introduced to the moringa tree. NGOs encouraged farmers to cultivate moringa for the nutritional benefits - gram for gram, the leaves of the tree contain more iron than spinach, more protein than yogurt, and more calcium than milk. But farmers didn’t have a way to earn a living cultivating moringa - no access to market.
So Kwami and Emily took the unused part of the tree - the seeds- back to their labs at MIT and figured out how to cold-press the moringa seeds into a nourishing oil that outperforms argan, jojoba, and shea.
Together, we set about building True Moringa with the mission of doing wellness differently. We believe that being healthy should be simple, affordable, and accessible to all.

OUR JOURNEY STARTS AT THE FARM...
-
Climate Smart Agriculture
Your skincare is powered by solar! Our farm is home to West Africa's largest solar-powered irrigation project. Moringa trees are drought resistant, require little water, and capture 20x the carbon of other vegetation. We use a regenerative agriculture approach to protect soil health and increase biodiversity.
-
LAND ACCESS FOR WOMEN & TRIBAL MINORITIES
Community members who typically lack access to land are allotted a plot on our farm and given access to irrigation, organic certification, agricultural training, and wrap around services like child care, scholarship funding, health insurance, and more. These programs increased womens' participation in lucrative tree crop farming from 0% to 40%.
-
Building Community Wealth
True Moringa Farmers organize themselves into small groups of 30 members to form Village Savings and Loan Associations - micro banks through which members learn financial literacy skills, save their earnings from their moringa farms, and lend to other members at low interest rates. For every $1 invested in VSLAs, $10 of community wealth is generated.
