The Philippine Star

Malunggay is good for the skin, too!

-

We have witnessed how the beauty and self-care industry blossomed over the years. Experts predict that the future of beauty will go beyond how it makes us look and feel, especially on the inside. The said wave prompted the skincare sphere to circle back to the basics — natural, clean and organic products.

In the Philippine­s, local brands are stepping up their game. As they innovate and make their names more notable in the beauty market, they strive to provide consumers products that are natural, safe and effective. While doing so, they are also utilizing locally sourced ingredient­s.

Malunggay or moringa oleifera is a common plant in tropical countries such as the Philippine­s. It has been called a superfood containing vitamins, minerals, antioxidan­ts, antibacter­ial properties and other health benefits.

In 2018, the House of Representa­tives recognized the backyard plant’s economic, nutritiona­l and medicinal benefits, prompting them to make a move to further develop the malunggay industry.

In early 2009, beauty brand Moringa-O² hit the shelves with skincare and haircare products that contain malunggay, olive oil, and Omega 3 from sunflower oil. The natural ingredient­s deeply nourish and moisturize the skin, hair and scalp, making it look younger, smoother and healthier.

Moringa-O² products are safe and gentle for every family member’s daily use, including kids, pregnant and breastfeed­ing moms.
