Product Review: Moringa-O² Herbal Hair, Scalp and Skin Therapy Oil

Sunday, January 12, 2014

     Are you afraid of using oils on your face and body? I guess the answer would be yes and no. We are all afraid of bad oils inside our system because we all know that fats and cholesterol can cause serious illnesses that may lead to death. But fret not because our topic today is about beauty oils :) It's not fatal and it does only good for our skin. Have you tried using beauty oils in your face and body? If yes, I'm sure you've encountered not only one but more than two kinds of beauty oils in the market today. I'm not new to oils because I've tried more than three so far- sunflower, emu and argan oil. From my experience, these three oils are very effective in addressing certain skin and hair problems that's why I'm very excited to try other kinds of beauty oils because I believe that it can make wonders not only for a certain part of the body but from head to toe!

     Today, let me introduce you to another miracle oil in a bottle. The Moringa-O2 Herbal Hair, Scalp and Skin Therapy Oil. This product contains not only one beautifying oil but three oils that can heal and prevent skin problems- moringa, olive, and sunflower oil! We all know that moringa/malunggay oil has a lot of skincare benefits, add olive and sunflower oil that's also known to aid skin ailments with regular use.

     If you're still skeptical in using beautifying oils in your skin and body here's an excerpt from Ashton Kaidi, MD, co-founder of Marula: The Leakey Collection. "Oils are essential to your skin’s health because they keep your outer protective layer of skin cells together, making you look younger while protecting against future damage,”

     So without further ado, here's my honest to goodness review of the product. I'm also proud to tell you that I let my sister use this oil as a treatment for hair fall and she swears that it's effective after three consecutive use. As for my observations, click CONTINUE READING to find out!

Moringa-O² Herbal Hair, Scalp and Skin Therapy Oil is a rare blend of oils from moringa (malunggay), olive and omega (sunflower) oils. These three powerful oils are very rich in anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals. They are natural cleansers, have high emollient properties and are all naturally antiseptic, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. Together, they cover a wide spectrum of benefits rooted in nature providing a healthier, gentler, and more skin-hair-scalp-compatible from babies to more mature individuals.
          Moringa- Herbal Hair, Scalp and Skin Therapy Oil is a miracle in a bottle! The moment I received my package from Sample Room containing products from Moringa-O2, my eyes were laid on this therapy oil. I like that the packaging is loaded with product information and yes that's very helpful for consumers who like scrutinizing each ingredient before using the product. Here's the product literature written on the box:

instructions for use:

Hair and Scalp- Massage oil onto scalp and hair (until strand ends). for best results, wrap hair in a warm towel or a shower cap for at least 30 minutes while waiting for the oils to be absorbed into the scalp, hair follicles, and roots. Shampoo and condition hair afterward. Use at least twice a week, more as needed. For extra shine or frizz control coat, rub a drop (or two) of oil on palm and lightly brush palms over hair.


Face and Neck- Massage oil on the face and neck. Best to apply when the skin is damp or warm after showering in the morning and in the evening for better absorption. Use twice a day: once in the morning and once at night. With regular use, skin feels softer and is visibly smoother and radiant.


Body, Hand and Foot Care- Massage oil on the targeted area until it is fully absorbed. It is best when applied on damp or warm targeted area after showering or washing, use gloves on hands and socks on feet. The oil can be applied as frequently as needed. With regular use, skin feels softer and smoother.

it has a semi-thick consistency
What I like:
  • The price! cheap- just 99php pesos for a 30ml bottle. 
  • A little amount goes a long way.
  • Travel-friendly bottle.
  • Multipurpose- can be used from head to toe!
  • The scent is okay, unlike the pure sunflower oil that smells like cooking oil.
  • I've tried it as a facial moisturizer and it works like emu oil.
  • Relieves itchy scalp and made my hair shiny.
  • I use this on my stretch marks and it lessened the dryness and somewhat lightened the part where I always apply it.
  • My sister said that her hair fall has lessened after three uses. She uses the product as a hot oil treatment.
  • Doesn't make my hair feel heavy and greasy.
  • Doesn't make my skin look oily and greasy.
  • The expiry date is stamped on the bottle.
  • Easily accessible.
What I don't like:
  • None
Will I repurchase?: YES!

Recommendation:
     I give this a 5/5 rating. It's a miracle oil in a bottle. The powerful combination of three oils makes it very effective in addressing problems from head to toe! I'm happy that this product was available in the market today because beauty oils are saviors! 

      Have you tried beauty oils before? What's your favorite? Thanks for sharing!

Good Times!~

  1. I was eyeing this too at Sample Room, and as usual, hindi ako umabot. Haha! I've tried sunflower, grapeseed, and argan oil and all three did wonders for my skin and hair. Argan would have to be my most favorite, my only gripe is that it's also the most expensive. Lol. ;)

  10. I'm actually curious about this product when I saw it on Sample Room, I even thought of getting it but decided not to because I'm hesitant of putting an oil to my hair. Now I'm thinking of trying it as I read your review. :)

    ReplyDelete
  11. @Style and Glow- you should try this. It's not sticky and greasy, It's like you didn't put an oil to your hair unless your using it for hot oil where you need to massage a good amount on your hair and scalp but you'll be rinsing it anyway.

  15. I'm using this too but I find it a bit oily although lesser than baby oil and I can smell the sunflower oil in it kind of transfer to my clothes, but I still keep using it because it relieves the dryness of my skin :)

  16. @Arya De Guzman- I suggest that you use it at night and when you're at home to lessen all the hassles like when you're at work or outside the house. But if it's okay with you, you can apply it day or night naman.

  17. I have consumed one bottle already. I use it as a moisturizer at night but i was disappointed when i used it as hair treatment. Nagkahair fall ako and it was itchy sa scalp. Nakakalambot ng soles ng feet. Makakatipid ka sa foot spa BUT to get it soft kailangan nakasocks ka sa gabi. Thanks for writing a review on this product. Very helpful sa mga tao na curious whether or not to purchase a bottle of this wonder oil! More power to ur blog!

  28. Is it safe to be used by pregnant women on their stretch marks? will there be side effects?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Hi changma,

      I guess it's safe since it's made of natural ingredients. I can't tell you if they're 100% safe. I only used it for my hair kasi. No experience on stretchmarks.

      Delete
    2. I'm a bit confused based on your review you tried it on your stretchmarks? But on your comment no experience on stretchmarks? It's under "What I like".

      "I use this on my stretchmarks and it lessened the dryness and somewhat lightened the part where I always apply it."

    3. Hi Jhocyn,

      Thanks for bringing this up. I forgot to include the update. I just recently tried it on my stretchmarks na and yes nakaka less dry pero nandun pa din yung mark, lighter lang ng konti.

    1. Hi Ally,

      Basing on the ingredients I guess it's safe naman sa pregnant women. But to be sure mas okay if sa OB mo na lang ask. Pasensya na di ko masagot.

    1. Hi,

      I think no. If I have a product that is expiring soon, I toss it away. Though some says as long as the smell is okay it's fine. But remember that you're not sure of the damage it may cause unless you see it na after using an expired product.

    1. Hi Sue,

      I'm not sure though. Kindly consult her pediatrician on this since babies have sensitive skin and not all natural products are safe. Pwede na magkaroon pa din ng allergic reactions.
