Natural ingredient we love: noni extract

The latest super ingredient

We bet our best beauty products that you’ve never really heard of noni extract. Or if you have, you just know it as an ingredient found in natural or organic beauty products.

Well, allow us to educate you, because seriously, this is one ingredient you will want in ALL of your beauty products!

Noni (pronounced no-knee, rhymes with Sony) is a plant that has been around for thousands of years and is widely used to treat various ailments and conditions, including poor digestion, skin disorders, allergies, arthritis, and diabetes. More importantly, in beauty products, noni extract is a pretty powerful antioxidant, so it helps protect skin from free radicals while aiding cell regeneration, improving cell function, and helping heal skin.

So it’s not hard to see why Miranda Kerr would choose to use this wondrous natural ingredient in all of her KORA Organics products (maybe it’s the noni she drinks everyday that keeps her looking so damn beautiful!).

If you’re looking to get some more noni in your life (as you should), then we highly recommend you get your hands on these must-have KORA Organics products:

Cream Cleanser – If your skin is dry and dehydrated, you’ll want this nourishing, natural cleanser in your bathroom cupboard at all times. And if you have sensitive skin — fear not, the gentle formula is perfect for you.

Vitamin Enhanced Lip Balm — Why put up with dry and chapped lips when you can have this lip balm in your purse? Enriched with jojoba, avocado, rosehip, vitamins C and E, and (of course), noni extract, the lip treatment will keep your lips soft and smooth.

Daily Hand Cream — The skin on your face isn’t the only skin that needs attention. Give your hands a youthful, replenishing boost with this quick-absorbing hand cream. It’s perfect for cuticles too!

I like aloe vera, cucumber, green tea as well as hyaluronic acid. I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to ingredients but anything containing these appeal to me more.

Aloe vera, vitamin E, green tea, pomegranate and probably many more, but like Evanescencessy, I'm not super knowledgeable when it comes to ingredients.

This sounds amazing! I remember Miranda Kerr saying once that she drinks Noni juice daily. Maybe that's why she's so gorgeous. :))

The more natural ingredients the better. The products sound really good I would love to read some more and then try it out. That noni looks a bit like custard fruit.

What an interesting looking plant/fruit! Miranda certainly does seem to swear by it.

Oh, Noni has been around for ages! They used to sell the Noni juice in health stores because they said it had such great benefits. It's great that it's coming out in beauty products now!

Like Coconal, I recall noni juice being sold in health stores. I like my skincare products to have the best anti-ageing ingredients available plus shea butter is a must in body lotions/body butters.

I love the sound of this, and would love to try the Kora products (although Im not a fan of Miranda!!!). And I would also love to taste the noni fruit.

I love jasmine, vanilla, and honeysuckle in my fragrances. Haven't quite found one that can successfully merge all three but individually in scents, they are divine!

Its such a shame her products are so damn expensive. I'd love to adopt her beauty regime, I heard on the radio she drinks prune juice too.

I love body products which contain shea butter as they melt so beautifully on my skin!

I am not one who looks at the ingredients very often. I do like some natural extracts though. I am wanting to try that Kora lip balm - it sounds good.

I love licorice and green tea in my products. That noni fruit is interesting - no wonder they juice the thing!

I'd love to try Kora products, they seem so beautiful and Noni juice is a wonderful antioxidant. I love Rosehip, Argan, Hyaluronic Acid, Avocado, Olive, Berries, Vitamin C, peptides - there are so many beautiful and beneficial ingredients it's endless.
