Active ingredients
Efficacy and resilience : our ingredients are rigorously selected for their proven efficacy and resilience. Committed to preserving the biodiversity, the protection of local populations and the promotion of their know-how, we choose plants that give more to the earth than they take from it.
Moringa oleifera, baobab and prickly pear, key ingredients in our collections, require little in terms of nutrients and water, do not deplete the soil and have remarkable properties.
Our ingredients are objectively assessed and rigorously dosed.
Moringa oleifera, an exceptional ingredient at the heart of the Heritage Moringa range.
A treasure of Ayurvedic and traditional medicine, moringa oleifera is an exceptional plant. Also called "tree of life", or "nebeday" in Wolof, which comes from the English expression "never die", it is one of the plants richest in antioxidants, essential fatty acids and regenerative nutrients.
An adaptogenic plant used for millennia, the first medical records are found in the "Sushruta Samhita" (5th century BC), the basis of modern Ayurvedic medicine.
Inside the pods, the seeds contain 30 to 42% oil, and the press cake obtained as a by-product during oil extraction is very rich in active compounds.
At the heart of our skincare products, moringa oil reveals its full cosmetic power:
- Fighting free radicals, preventing and reducing the visible signs of aging,
- Soothe redness and inflammation and reduce imperfections.
- Intensely nourish the skin without leaving a greasy film.
- Strengthen the skin barrier, protect against pollution and clarify the complexion
"Moringa is the soul of Maison Amorine's skincare, the starting point for a cosmetics line that blends heritage and innovation."
Anne-Cécile Bannier-Mathieu, founder of Maison Amorine
The Heritage Moringa Complex, an oil-based complex created exclusively by the brand, combines a high concentration of moringa oil with five precious organic plant oils, carefully selected for their complementary properties. The Moringa Regenerating Cream and the Precious Moringa Elixir are enriched with this complex. This unique synergy amplifies the benefits of each product:
- Long-lasting hydration
- Prevention and reduction of signs of skin aging,
- Protection against external aggressions (pollution, UV, oxidative stress),
- Soothes sensitive skin and visibly reduces redness and imperfections.
- Natural radiance and even skin tone,
Each of the five exceptional plant oils in the Moringa Heritage Complex possesses specific properties. Rich in vitamins (A, C, D, E, K), essential fatty acids (particularly Omega 9 and 6), carotenoids, and phytosterols, together they create a complete response to the skin's essential needs:
- Marula oil : revitalizes, hydrates, nourishes, smooths and reduces imperfections and signs of fatigue.
- Baobab oil : restores firmness, tone and radiance, while softening and soothing tight or dry skin thanks to its emollient and regenerating action.
- Safflower oil : protects against dehydration and soothes redness.
- Macadamia oil : repairs, restructures and soothes, ideal after sun exposure.
- Prickly pear oil : moisturizes, soothes inflammation and reduces redness.
Hyaluronic acid in double weight or encapsulated in an oil phase, for maximum effectiveness
Our treatments are enriched with hyaluronic acid whose effects are objective, that is to say proven by scientific studies.
The Moringa Regenerating Cream contains high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acid. This difference in molecular weight guarantees maximum effectiveness*:
- High molecular weight hyaluronic acid forms a non-occlusive moisturizing film on the surface of the epidermis. It retains water within the cells, providing long-lasting hydration. It can absorb up to 1000 times its weight in water.
- Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid is a micro-molecule. Its size allows it to penetrate deep into the skin. It acts directly on the layers of the epidermis, stimulates the production of natural collagen, and prevents skin sagging.

The Precious Moringa Elixir is enriched with hyaluronic acid encapsulated in an oil phase. This encapsulation enhances the performance of the hyaluronic acid: it penetrates the skin's lipid barrier more easily and effectively to reach the targeted lower layers and thus ensure maximum hydration. Encapsulation also improves the stability and preservation of the formula.
ACMELLA OLERACEA, A NATURAL ALTERNATIVE TO INJECTIONS
The Acmella Oleracea extract, also known as "natural Botox," which enriches the Moringa Regenerating Cream, comes from Madagascar. This flowering plant has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its analgesic and anesthetic properties. The main bioactive component of Acmella Oleracea extract is spilanthol, which helps reduce muscle tension and facial spasms. It is therefore an excellent natural alternative to Botox: as a micro-muscle relaxant, it visibly relaxes facial muscles and naturally smooths wrinkles and fine lines.
HIBISCUS: REGENERATES, HYDRATES, PURIFIES, ANTIOXIDANT
The hibiscus is a herbaceous plant with white, pink or red flowers found mainly in West Africa.
Hibiscus flowers are rich in organic acids with an AHA (non-aggressive) structure, thus promoting cell regeneration.
Hibiscus is extremely rich in phenolic compounds, which are effective antioxidants. It is also recommended for oily skin with excess sebum and enlarged pores. AHAs effectively prevent hyperkeratosis (by acting on the ionic bonds between corneocytes), improve the flexibility of the stratum corneum, and thus prevent pores from becoming clogged with corneocytes, impurities, and sebum, leading to blemishes.
Hibiscus has moisturizing properties thanks to its richness in sugars, organic acids, amino acids, and proteins, which contribute to skin hydration. It also has antiseptic properties.
