Moringaia is the local brand extensively used in treatments at The Spa Casa de Campo wellness center and relaxation hub, which not only delivers astounding results but also advocates for sustainability and environmental care.
Founded by siblings Elah Barshi and Ben-Yam Barshi and their parents, Moringaia is a family-owned business rooted in a passion for nature and commitment to the local community. Their products, based on cold-pressed oils, are derived from moringa seeds grown on a permaculture family farm and crafted in a solar-powered laboratory.
The purity of Moringaia’s products is evident from the first use. The 100% cold-pressed moringa seed oil is always the primary ingredient, boasting an impressive 70% oleic acid content and a rich source of natural Vitamin E. Moreover, Moringaia prides itself on its commitment to transparency, never resorting to hidden ingredients, synthetic fragrances, or fillers.
However, Moringaia is not just a beauty brand; it is a movement towards sustainability and environmental conservation. They are dedicated to planting moringa trees on their family farm located on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. This initiative not only promotes reforestation but also harnesses the ecological benefits of the “Miracle Trees”, as they are commonly known.
From enhancing soil fertility to providing shelter and food for local wildlife, moringa trees are a vital force in the island’s ecosystem.
Additionally, Moringaia products directly support local communities by providing employment opportunities in economically disadvantaged areas. Forbes has recognized Moringaia as one of the “Clean Beauty Brands Leading the Eco-Revolution”.
With a commitment extending beyond beauty, Moringaia and The Spa Casa de Campo are contributing to the development of Dominican producers and environmental sustainability.
