A Research on: Formulation and Evaluation of Anti-inflammatory Cream by using Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil

This study evaluated the chemical composition and anti-inflammatory activity of moringa seed oil, formulated a cream, and assessed its efficacy in vivo. Moringa oleifera seed oil is receiving global attention due to several commercial interests, namely the nutritional, physical, chemical and pharmacological properties Moringa oleifera seeds. are a promising resource for food and non-food applications, due to their content of monounsaturated fatty acids with a high monounsaturated/saturated fatty acids (MUFA/SFA) ratio, sterols and tocopherols, as well as proteins rich in sulfated amino acids. Moringa oil, also known as Ben oil, is a topical treatment for skin and hair due to its high levels of Behenic acid, providing therapeutic benefits As well as large applies as food, lubricant, perfumes, drugs, skincare and biodiesel raw material. The oil detaches mainly by the great concentration of omega-9 and small quantities of polyunsaturated fatty acids that promote great oxidative resistance and lower susceptibility to ramification. Furthermore, it also synthetize tocopherol, bioactive compounds sterols, vitamin E and minerals. Several researches confirm antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities detected from the oil, representing quite important to health. However, it is still necessary more research to elucidate its compounds and action type in an organism.
