Sorry, turmeric. There’s a new superfood in town. Ladies, meet moringa oil—also known as “the miracle tree.” This tropical plant has been around for centuries but is making its way into beauty regimes (and diets) everywhere thanks to its moisturizing, nourishing and antioxidant powers. In some forms, it’s even known to be anti-aging (bless). Want to give it a try? Here are 12 buzzy products that will get you ahead of the curve.

Argan oil might be the hero ingredient here, but it’s the little boost from moringa oil that really sets this mask apart. Plus, it requires only three to five minutes of your time so there’s no excuse not to use it.

Chi ($21)

Revitalizing Eye Balm

Fine lines and wrinkles don’t stand a chance against this guy (remember what we said about moringa’s anti-aging properties?). If you feel like you could use some extra TLC, this product can also be used as a weekly eye mask.
