Moringa seed oil is an advantageous oil in the personal care and cosmetic industry due to its emollient and skin moisturizing properties. It has been held in high regard since antiquity.

It is a stable raw material with a high resistance to oxidation and commonly compared to Olive Oil, but it is considered a much lighter oil. Moringa seed 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.
