Moringa oil is an advantageous oil in the personal care and cosmetic industry due to its emollient and skin moisturizing properties. It is a stable raw material with a high resistance to oxidation. Moringa is commonly compared to olive oil, although it is a much lighter oil. Moringa oil, or ben oil, is a popular element in personal care products such as hair creams, conditioners, skin lotions and body butters. It is recommended in massage and aromatherapy since it spreads so easily on the skin without leaving a greasy residue. Moringa oil can also be used in cooking and for industrial purposes such as a lubricant for metals.
