Objective: This review article aimed to examine the potentiality of moringa seed oil as anti-alopecia. Method: The data was collected by studying national and international journal articles using several search engines, namely Google and Google Scholar websites, Research Gate, Sciencedirect and Scimagojr. The keywords for this article include moringa seed oil, fatty acids, phytosterol, and anti-alopecia. Results: The result was tabulated in a table and described according to the mechanism of action of the active compounds found in moringa seed oil, fatty acids, phytosterol, and anti-alopecia. Moringa seed oil contain the phytosterol compounds (β-sitosterol, ergosterol and campesterol) show the activities that obstruct the formation of the dihydrotestosterone (DHT) compound known to be the cause of alopecia. The fatty acid compounds found in moringa seed oil (lauric acid, linoleic acid, palmitoleic acid, palmitic acid, and oleic acid) reinforce its potential to be an anti-alopecia. Conclusion: The phytosterol and fatty acid compounds supported the growth of hair to be fertile and healthy.

In this study, milk thistle seeds were collected from four regions of Iran (Ahvaz, Lorestan, Kazeroon and Zarghan). The oil extracted from seeds of plant using n-hexane solvent extraction soxhlet. The extracted oil was analyzed by gas chromatography and fatty acids were identified in all four samples. In all four samples, the oil refractive index of Milk thistle oil fatty acids vis. Linoleic acid, Oleic acid, Palmitic acid was evaluated. The Peroxide test and determination of oil percentage was performed in Milk thistle seed oil.
