For hair
Ingredients
- 2 cups of a carrier oil, such as Sunflower Oil, that has moisturizing properties
- 5 to 10 drops of moringa oil
- 5 to 10 drops of a beneficial essential oil, such as lavender or tea tree oil
Directions
- Mix the oils together in a glass bowl or bottle.
- Apply to the hair, massaging into the roots.
- Cover hair, and leave on overnight.
- Shampoo and condition hair as usual.
- You can also heat this mixture for a few seconds on the stove, prior to applying. Some people like the heightened scent that heating gives the oils. Do not over heat, this can damage the beneficial properties in the oils.
For skin

Moringa oil has a relatively long shelf life up to about 1 year. However, you should store any oil blend in glass at room temperature, in a dark space, to prevent it from going rancid.
As always, first apply to a small area to test before using on face or hair. Everyone's skin and hair are different. Essential7 is not responsible for any challenges related to the recipes above. They are suggestions only. Educate yourself before using essential oils.
