Deep Dive
Moringa oleifera is called the "miracle tree" in Ayurvedic medicine. Its oil is surprisingly non-greasy, very stable (doesn't oxidize fast), and rich in oleic acid plus behenic acid. Antioxidant effect is good; the "anti-pollution" claim comes from studies showing moringa extract binds particulate matter. Common in K-beauty and Indian formulations.
