What Is Argan Oil Anyway?

Argan Oil is one of the world’s most amazing oils for skin and hair care, truly a beauty secret for centuries of Moroccan women. It is a  local food source, cooking oil, ointment, cosmetic and much more. Argan oil is known as “liquid gold”, and is the reason Moroccan women maintain supple, radiant skin even as they live in the dry climate.

Argan oil contains extremely high levels of essential fatty acids like linoleic acid or omega-6 which is key to protect and repair the hair and skin. The fatty acids improve intracellular oxygenation, helping to restore in your hair and skin.

Vitamin E is well documented to be a wonderful anti-oxidant as a hair and skin care wonder. Argan contains an amazingly high level of vitamin E that moisturizes and heals while neutralizing free radicals and regenerating and nourishing, dry skin and hair.

Argan oil is pressed from the fruits of the Argan tree which is native to Morocco and known to live up to 200 years. Because of its limited supply and difficulty to press, Argan oil is one of the rarest oils in the world.

Argan oil has remarkable abilities that nourish and moisturize as well as promote elasticity. The oil is high in omega-9 oleic acid and the omega-6 linoleic acid. Argan Oil absorbs quickly and is highly moisturizing, rich in Carotenes, anti-inflammatory and simply amazing.
