A groundbreaking skincare component safeguarding skin, communities, and the environment

Lipoid Kosmetik, a prominent manufacturer of botanical extracts and natural products for the cosmetic industry, has introduced MorinGuard®, a new COSMOS- and NATRUE-approved cosmetic active ingredient. This innovative product is derived from Moringa oleifera, known as the “Miracle Tree,” celebrated for its anti-inflammatory properties and cosmetic benefits. By upcycling Moringa seed cake, a by-product of oil extraction, Lipoid Kosmetik has developed MorinGuard® to provide exceptional skin care benefits, including soothing inflammation, reducing skin damage, and enhancing skin recovery.

MorinGuard® features moringin, a bioactive compound known for its dual-action mechanism: inhibiting the NF-κB pathway to combat inflammation and activating the antioxidative Nrf2 pathway to reduce oxidative stress. These actions help fortify the skin’s defense system and promote barrier repair. Additionally, MorinGuard® supports sustainability and social responsibility by providing economic opportunities to Rwandan farming families involved in Moringa oil production. This product underscores Lipoid Kosmetik’s commitment to skin care, community well-being, and environmental stewardship. The company is showcasing MorinGuard® at the in-cosmetics Global event in Amsterdam.
