Moringa ptyerygosperma oil is an oil extract obtained by cold pressing from the seeds of the behen tree (Moringa pterygosperma, engl. Drumstick; Horseradish Tree; Behen Tree). The main components of the oil are oleic acid, palmitic acid and stearic acid. Moringa ptyerygosperma oil is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as an emollient (makes the skin supple and smoothes it).
