Moringa Facial Cleanser

Moringa

Moringa oleifera

Tiruvallur, Tamil Nadu

Ben oil — cold-pressed from Moringa seeds — is the world's richest plant source of behenic acid, a very long-chain fatty acid with exceptional skin compatibility and a documented ability to maintain skin surface lipid integrity through the cleansing process. Moringa leaf extract adds isothiocyanates and zeatin — a plant cytokinin associated with delayed skin cellular senescence.

Honey

Apis mellifera (raw, unfiltered)

Kodaikanal Hills, Tamil Nadu

Kodaikanal forest honey at 10% concentration functions as this cleanser's humectant and gentle enzymatic exfoliant. Gluconic acid from natural glucose oxidase activity provides a mild AHA effect that dissolves intercellular keratin bridges in the stratum corneum without mechanical abrasion — critical for maintaining barrier integrity in dry and sensitive skin types.

Aloe Vera

Aloe barbadensis miller

Rajkot, Gujarat

Acemannan-rich inner leaf gel forms the formulation's aqueous base, delivering mucopolysaccharide conditioning to the skin in direct competition with surfactant removal. The net effect is a cleanser that increases — rather than decreases — measurable surface hydration on the stratum corneum.
