Well there are 2 types of almond oil, refined and un-refined.

Unrefined is a better choice for health as refining almond oil destroys certain nutrients. So when we're talking about almond oil we're talking about the unrefined almond oil.

Almond oil is a good source of antioxidant vitamin E and unsaturated fatty acids which have many health benefits.
Almond reduces risk of heart disease and obesity as it is rich in unsaturated fatty acids,
