About
A hydrosol of moringa leaves — a well-known nutritious plant. Gentle, antioxidant-rich water-phase ingredient.
Moringa Oleifera Leaf Water is the aqueous extract or hydrosol of leaves from Moringa oleifera, the "miracle tree" widely cultivated in South Asia and Africa as a food and medicinal crop. The leaves are exceptionally rich in vitamins (A, C, K), minerals (calcium, iron), amino acids, and antioxidant polyphenols (kaempferol, quercetin, chlorogenic acid). The water fraction carries the water-soluble subset — amino acids, minerals, and flavonoid glycosides. Used in cosmetics at 5-30% in toners, mists, and serums as a natural humectant and conditioning base. Excellent food-safety record. No dedicated CIR review.
