Description
Moringa Face Serum is a rich, indulgent, nutrient-dense facial serum lightweight enough for everyday use. Naturally high in vitamins A and C, two micronutrients considered vital for skin health, Moringa and Sea Buckthorn seed oils deeply nourish the skin, restore the integrity of the skin barrier, and repair sun or cosmetic induced skin damage.
How to use
How: Apply 1/2 to 1 full dropper directly to the face or into the palm of the hands. Massage gently into the face or use a gua sha tool. Wait at least 20 minutes before applying a moisturiser.

The Science Behind The Formula
Moringa Oil
Considered a superfood, moringa oil is naturally rich in Vitamins A and C. Vitamin A (retinol) is the natural substance on which pharmaceutical skin preparations are based. It is considered vital for skin health and integrity.
sea buckthorn seed oil
Scientifically proven to promote proliferation of healthy skin cells, regulate sebum production, and promote wound healing. Sea Buckthorn Seed oil contains palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid that is also produced by human skin, and is thought to be behind its skin benefits.
evening primrose oil
High in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), evening primrose oil is a modern naturopathic skin remedy that has roots in ancient herbal medicine. It is scientifically proven to improve skin elasticity, texture, roughness, and firmness.
rosehip oil
Rosehip oil improves cell turnover and antioxidant renewal, and is currently being scientifically investigated for its uses in sunscreen. It is an essential ingredient in a variety of different dermatological skin preparations.
What moringa face serum is
Moringa Facial Serum is a 100% plant oil based facial serum formulated to mimic the skin's natural composition of fatty acids. Anti-inflammatory, antioxidant rich, and nutrient dense, Moringa Facial Serum provides lightweight, everyday moisturisation that restores skin integrity and repairs damage.
What moringa face serum is good for
Moringa Facial Serum is good for all skin types, and can be used on cracked, broken, or sun-damaged skin. It is good for skin that is losing elasticity, is damaged by cosmetic or sun exposure, and is good for everyday use.
PRESERVATIVE FREE, SYNTHETIC FREE
Moringa Face Serum is made 100% of plant oils and extracts, and is preservative free. We use Vitamin E to stabilise this oil, and no other preservatives, creating a shelf-stable and preservative free facial serum.
Synthetics, including preservatives, can damage the integrity of the skin barrier and exacerbate skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. This is because they disrupt the skin’s natural biome. Moringa Face Serum is self-preserving because it is made entirely with plant oils. Natural Vitamin E tocopherols are added as stabilisers while also being beneficial for the skin.
No synthetic fragrances are used in Moringa Face Serum. Synthetic fragrances are known to contain harmful chemicals that disrupt endocrine function. This is why Medera products are only ever perfumed with natural essential oils, resins, and gums. We do not attempt to mask the smell of plants with perfume. Instead, we work with the natural aromas of the oils and extracts we use, mixing essential oils to capture beautiful scents without compromising your health.
Moringa Face Serum is perfumed only with rose wax and essential oils of cardamom, chamomile, and lavender.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, our serum is designed for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Moringa Face Serum is a balancing serum, making it suitable for all skin types, from oily to dry and everything in between!
We prioritise whole plant extracts over isolated compounds. This is because whole plant extracts (such as Moringa oil or Sea Buckthorn seed oil) contain a variety of compounds that work together synergistically. This is why you see Moringa, Sea Buckthorn, Rosehip and Evening Primrose oils in the ingredients, but not Retinol or L-ascorbic acid (synthetic Vitamin C). This makes our products less reactive on sensitive skin and more effective in the long-term.
Absolutely! Our serum works well with other skincare products. It’s perfect for layering under moisturizers or sunscreen and complements your existing routine seamlessly. Allow the goodness of Moringa Face Serum to seep into your skin for at least 10 minutes before applying a moisturiser or sunscreen.
Yes, Moringa Face Serum was made with you in mind. Made with whole plant extracts, the chances of reaction to this face serum are extremely low. Reactions to synthetic vitamins (such as Retinol or L-ascorbic acid) are very common because they are abrasive, highly concentrated, and not readily bioavailable to the skin. We recommend reading the ingredient list thoroughly incase you have known allergies to the plants in this formula.
Yes! The naturally high levels of Vitamin A and C in Moringa Face Serum, along with its high levels of antioxidants and linoleic acids boost skin elasticity and plumpness, reducing the visibility of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin dehydration.

BUNDLE & SAVE
A non-comedogenic serum duo that's perfect for managing breakouts and maintaining healthy skin. A lighter facial oil (Moringa) and a nutrient dense Wild Seeds Face Oil together prevent acne while maintaining skin hydration.
Over 30% of people with acne report that their acne is worsened by the continued use of cosmetics. Many of the chemicals used in everyday skin cleansers and moisturisers aggravate chronic skin conditions and further deteriorate the skin barrier. The Serum Duo is an every-day serum package designed to restore the integrity of the skin barrier, gently cleanse without stripping the skin of its oils, and reduce scars associated with acne and chronic skin conditions. The Serum Duo is made up of two facial serums that are 100% oil and plant based — meaning no emulsifiers, chemical preservatives, artificial fragrances or colours. The Serum Duo lets you care for your skin naturally — without the chemicals that further exacerbate chronic skin conditions.
How to use
How: First apply Wild Seeds Face Oil to problem areas on the skin, gently patting the oil in until absorbed. Then apply Moringa Face Serum over the whole face and décolletage. No need to top with a moisturiser.
