Welcome to Rwanda’s beautiful Eastern Province. This is where we sustainably source the Community Trade moringa seed oil for our softening, floral Moringa range.
Here, Asili Natural Oils nurture high-quality moringa seeds for 800 small-scale farmers, who grow, handpick and use a process called ‘winnowing’ to separate the seeds from their shells. These are then naturally air-dried and cold-pressed twice to extract their nurturing oil.
We’re proud to work with Asili Natural Oils because they provide a sustainable income for farmers living in the dry Eastern Province of Rwanda, where income opportunities are low. They work hard to build trust, transparency and friendship with these farmers, and help provide a better future for them and their families.
The moringa tree is hardy, drought resistant and requires little irrigation. It even creates a canopy that shelters other crops from the heat, helping them to thrive.
Moringa is one of our bestselling and best-loved ranges. Moringa oil has been used to soften skin for thousands of years, including by the Ancient Romans, Greeks and Egyptians.
