concerns

Some evidence suggests that moringa oil has little to no side effects. Still, more research is needed to know the full impact of moringa oil. One study published in 2014 in the Journal of Toxicology found that consuming large amounts of the moringa plant may elevate iron levels in the blood, known as hemochromatosis. Excess iron may cause gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms like nausea and diarrhea.

precautions

["Avoid using moringa face mask if you have lemon juice in it and are going out in direct sunlight.", "Do a patch test before using moringa products on your face.", "Consult a healthcare provider before adding moringa oil to your skincare, haircare regimen, or diet. More research is needed to fully understand moringa oil's benefits and adverse effects on humans."]
