What is the “Moringa extract” used in our Detox treatment mask?
Today, we've decided to launch a series of articles to introduce you to our favorite natural ingredients. To kick off this botanical beauty saga, here's Moringa!
The seeds of a tree native to India.
Moringa extract comes from the seeds of a tree native to India, Moringa Olifeira, also known as the Miracle Tree or Tree of Life.
It is, in a way, a "vegetable tree," extremely rich in vitamins and minerals. All parts of this plant, from the root to the flowers, have been used for millennia for their nutritional and medicinal properties.
In recent years, it has appeared in contemporary cosmetics as a particularly interesting anti-pollution and purifying active ingredient.
Exceptional nutrient richness and a super anti-pollution power.
While dietary supplements are made from crushed and dried leaves, it is primarily the seeds that are of interest for the manufacture of skincare products.
The oil is produced by cold-pressing the seeds to preserve the integrity of its properties. It is extremely rich in unsaturated fatty acids (particularly omega-9) as well as antioxidant vitamins C and E.
Everything in Moringa is useful: the leaves are nutritious and the seeds provide extracts with purifying powers.
But what really makes it unique is a protein contained in the seeds which has the particularity of binding to impurities, aggregating them and retaining them on the surface of the skin, thus preventing them from penetrating the epidermis and affecting the cells.
The star ingredient of our Detox Mask - Les Poulettes Paris:
We selected Moringa extract for the formula of Detox Mask Certified organic and made in France, Les Poulettes Paris, among others, offers a unique anti-pollution action. We therefore offer a formula that is purifying, revitalizing, and protective for skin that breathes.
Its use is therefore highly recommended for all those who live in urban environments. Since, as city dwellers, we are regularly exposed to oxidative stress and polluting particles.
We recommend using this mask in the morning at home to start your day off right. It will then act as an anti-pollution shield throughout the day. Moringa is combined with a film-forming active ingredient to create an invisible barrier against external aggressors.
The formula also contains organic Aloe Vera Moisturizing and soothing, and vegetable glycerin to also strengthen the skin's barrier function and ensure suppleness and comfort, for a purified face!
And yes, well-hydrated skin is naturally more resilient skin.
Note:
There is no risk of deforestation with Moringa, since this tropical tree grows easily and quickly in developing areas without access to modern irrigation methods (it can grow up to 3 meters per year!), and is naturally very resistant to insects (no need for pesticides).
