In general, almond milk is very skin compatible. The oil is not irritant or comedogenic: it does not clog the pores of the skin and therefore causes no skin impurities.
Almond oil has a good penetration capability, which makes it very suitable for dry skin (In comparison: peanut oil has no penetration capability at all.). The skin becomes smooth and moist. It can be used for cold creams, skin oils, ointments and massage oils (also suitable for stretch mark treatment).
A disadvantage occurs through its high content of polyunsaturated fatty acids: which tend to make the oil rancid very fast.
The almond oil is used in the pharmacy for solvents and dispersants with oily parenteral injections because it is a remarkable binder for drugs. Since the oil is easily sterilizable the almond oil can be also found as a base for eye drops. These eye drops can keep the drug substance longer on the eye but should be applied mostly at night since they form a lubricating film.
In hair care products, the oil is used as a moisturizer and strengthens the hair structure.
Almond oil is used as lubricant in precision engineering and as care product for musical instruments.
