The Moringa tree originates in India but can also be found in parts of Africa and Asia. The tree not only grows in nature but is also cultivated in plantations.
The moringa tree is well known for its medicinal properties. It is one of the most useful trees in the world because almost any part of this tree can be used as food or for medicinal purposes.
Its fruit(pod) contains around twenty seeds, each composed of approximately 40% lipids. It is from these seeds that moringa oil is extracted through cold pressing. This oil is predominantly composed of monounsaturated fatty acids such as oleic oil.
Additionally, Moringa oil possesses numerous benefits : moisturizing, skin-protective, softening, skin analgesic, healing, anti-aging, strengthens and adds shine to hair, and more. In summary, its composition and properties make it an excellent cosmetic oil.
All these properties contribute to maintaining a healthy body.

ABOUT US
We are a young burundian company and our goal is to produce high quality moringa oil in order to get an exceptional product.
In 2020 we built a factory in Burundi where we cold press moringa seeds into oil using high-quality German machines.
The local farmers come to us weekly to deliver their seeds, which are weighted and immediately paid for.
This brings them an additional source of income as they can grow moringa trees between their existing crops.
Furthermore, we have our own land which sole purpose is to obtain organic certification in the future.
A team of seven people is responsible for the production, while several others are involved in planting and maintaining our land to ensure the production of a-top quality oil.
This creates employment for the local population and increases the income of farmers .
