Meet the Founders
In 2013, Emily and I found ourselves working in rural Ghana by different paths. Emily was studying development economics at Harvard, and I had just graduated from MIT when we had first met each other in Ghana.
It was here that we were introduced to the moringa tree. NGO's encouraged farmers to cultivate moringa for the nutritional benefits. Gram for gram, the leaves contain more iron than spinach, more protein than yogurt, and more calcium than milk. But farmers had no way to earn a living cultivating moringa and no access to the market. So, we took the unused part of the tree - the seeds - back to our labs at MIT and found a way to cold-press them into a sustainable beauty oil that outperforms argan, jojoba and shea.
Ever since, True Moringa has been adding value and jobs on the ground and producing high-quality, nutritious, pure moringa products.
