Why We Love Moringa: Nature’s Superpower in Skincare

Why We Love Moringa: Nature’s Superpower in Skincare

At Laurel Mountain Soaps, we craft all-natural skincare that’s rooted in purity and powered by plants. One of our favorite ingredients? Moringa. Found in our goat milk soaps, baking soda-free deodorants, and skin-loving Complexion Clear roller bottle, Moringa oil and seed cake powder offer unmatched nourishment for healthy, glowing skin.



What Is Moringa?


Moringa oleifera, known as the “Miracle Tree,” is rich in nutrients, antioxidants, and healing compounds. From the golden oil pressed from its seeds to the nutrient-rich seed cake powder left behind, Moringa brings powerful skin benefits.




Moringa Oil: Silky, Soothing, and Supercharged

Deep Moisture: Rich in oleic acid, it hydrates deeply without clogging pores.

Anti-Aging Benefits: Antioxidants like vitamins C and E reduce fine lines and promote elasticity.

Natural Protection: Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, it calms irritated skin.

Moringa Seed Cake Powder: Gentle Power for Detox & Glow


After oil extraction, the leftover seed cake is ground into a fine, eco-friendly powder that:

Exfoliates gently, removing buildup and promoting renewal.

Detoxifies skin naturally without over-drying.


Paired with goat milk and raw honey, our soaps offer a creamy lather that leaves skin soft, clean, and balanced.




Why It’s in Our Baking Soda-Free Deodorant


Many natural deodorants cause irritation due to baking soda. Ours doesn’t. We chose Moringa oil for its:

Antibacterial properties that neutralize odor

Soothing qualities that support sensitive underarm skin

Complexion Clear Roller Bottle with Moringa oil

Moringa oil is excellent for acne-prone skin due to its unique blend of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and non-comedogenic properties:


  1. Antibacterial – It helps kill acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes), reducing breakouts.
  2. Anti-inflammatory – Rich in compounds like cytokinin and tocopherols, it calms redness, swelling, and irritation.
  3. Non-comedogenic (rating: 0–1) – Moringa oil won’t clog pores, making it safe for oily or acne-prone skin.
  4. Balancing Sebum Production – High in oleic acid (about 70%), it helps regulate skin’s natural oils without stripping it.
  5. Rich in Antioxidants – Vitamins A, C, and E help repair damaged skin, fade acne scars, and prevent future breakouts.

Blending Moringa oil with essential oils like rose, juniper berry, blue tansy, tea tree, spikenard, myrrh, and clary sage creates a powerhouse facial oil that targets multiple aspects of skin health. Here’s how each one contributes to a clearer, healthier complexion:
