If you’re not the type of person to eat vegetables, why not lather yourself in it? I discovered the latest product line from The Body Shop during the product launch of Lipton Milk Tea. Oh my, I moisturized my hands with Moringa Body Butter and the jasmine aroma is soothing. The Body Shop cold presses the Moringa Oil from hand harvested kernels so they do not loose any of the protecting moisturizing goodness. But what is Moringa anyway? In our local dialect, it’s called malunggay.

Moringa leaves are the richest sources of essential nutrients often lacking in people’s diets. In fact, when I was breast feeding, my relatives urged me to drink malunggay soup to add more nourishment to my body. Besides the leaves, the Moringa tree has many everyday uses. India’s ayurvedic medicine uses every part of the Moringa tree and considers it one of the most valuable and useful plants.

There’s a special going on right now. A set of Moringa Shower Gel, Moringa Body Butter, Moringa Soap, Moringa Scrub and sponge costs PHP 1,308 pesos and 10% off on individual Moringa products.
