Argan oil is an oil produced from the kernels of the argan tree, endemic to Morocco, that is valued for its nutritive, cosmetic and numerous medicinal properties.

The Argan oil comes from the nuts of the argan tree or Argania Spinosa. The Argan fruit is typically green, large, and round. Inside of this is a nut that has to be cracked open in order to get started on the extraction of Argan oil. The concoction is kneaded while mixing it with water until the consistency becomes a thick paste. Repeated kneading will lead to the extraction of Argan oil. 

Cosmetic Argan Oil:

Nature’s anti-aging skin food has been shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, strengthen elasticity, protect against stretch marks, and improve your skin’s overall health and vitality.  Traditionally, the women of Morocco have utilized argan oil as the foundation of their beauty regimen, applying it to their skin, hair and nails. Recognized as a fundamental element in cosmetic care, argan oil is now being used in several beauty products. Researchers who have completed extensive studies identify the benefits of our oils and strongly recommend its cosmetic use. 

* For The Face – using treatments that only have Argan oil as its ingredient, you can use it as a moisturizing regimen at night and as a base for makeup during mornings. However, a drop or two of pure Argan oil should be enough for one application. 

*  For Hair Care – Argan oil can be used to restore damaged hair, revitalize dry locks, and give a shinier look to your hair. To attain this, apply a generous amount of Argan oil to damp hair, from the roots to the tips, leave for a few minutes, then rinse off. 

* For Nail Care – Brittle nails can be strengthened after they’re soaked in equal parts of lemon juice and Argan oil. Make nightly Argan oil application on your hands and nails into a nightly habit to make them smoother and healthier. 

* For Body Massage – massaging the body with Argan oil can make the skin firmer and relax the spine. You don’t have to worry about a greasy feeling because it is easily absorbed by the skin. Apply it after a bath and mix with lotion, so your skin will feel nourished and moisturized. 

Culinary Argan Oil:

Culinary argan oil is renowned for its light nutty aroma, delicate taste and documented health properties. It can be used as a balanced dietary supplement while also protecting the body against cardiovascular disease and inflammatory disorders. Recent clinical studies have shown argan to be an effective means for lowering cholesterol.
