The Argan Tree, Argania spinosa from Sapotaceae family and grows only in Morocco. The trees can live from 150-200 years. For centuries traditional cosmetic products produced from Argania spinosa have been a well kept secret known only to Berber women in Morocco. Argan oil is believed to be one of the rarest oils in the world. To produce Argan oil for cosmetic use, freshly harvested kernels from the fruit of the Argan tree are pressed and filtered through an organic cotton sieve, to extract the aromatic oil. The Argan oil is easily absorbed by the skin. This form of Argan oil is used for the treatment of dermatologic disease (acne, etc). Argan oil extracted by this method is used in Aromatherapy. In Europe, Argan oil has been used in the Aromatherapy industry for a long time, but for some reason it is not well known in the United States and is unavailable in retail stores. Argan oil has almost twice as much vitamin E or a-tocopherol as olive oil and it is much richer in linoleic acids. Its anti-ageing properties, due to high levels of vitamin E and saponins (which soften the skin), are well documented. Tocopherols are very important to human health because of their anti-oxidant actions and free radical scavenger affects. In traditional Moroccan medicine, Argan oil is used for the care of the body and face to counteract the effects of age or weather.
Customer Reviews
Excellent for the skin!
The smell is not very pleasant but it disappear while you make it penetrate into the skin. I love the argan oil, it leaves my skin very soft and healthy. It's a good natural anti-aging product. And I just use a couple drops a day so its very economical!
argan oil
This is nice. It has a strange smell but the smell doesn't linger. Makes your skin feel great. It's kind of hard to get out of the bottle without shaking it vigorously, but it isn't any drawback since the product is well worth it. It is a great emollient for skin without harmful and irritating chemicals. All natural is the way to go if you really want your skin to heal and be refined. You can also use it on your nails and hair.
great hydration
I love this product because it is all natural and it does not feel greasy on my face. I use it under my mineral makeup and it works great,the only reason why I am not givig it 5 stars is because it does have an odor, but I got used to it and the smell goes away after you put it on.
