Argan Oil Benefits for Skin and Hair: Why This Moroccan Oil Is Liquid Gold

Random Fun Fact

Argan oil production has some unusual helpers... goats! In Morocco, you'll find goats literally climbing up Argan trees (yes, climbing trees like they're auditioning for a circus act) to munch on the fruit. Traditionally, locals would collect the nuts from the goats' droppings after they'd digested the fruit flesh, making it easier to access the kernels. Don't worry though; modern argan oil production uses a much more... dignified process. But the tree-climbing goats remain one of Morocco's most entertaining sights!

Argan oil has many names. Also known as Moroccan oil, liquid gold or the beauty oil. It is one of our more luxurious carrier oils. But why Argan? Read on to find out.

Our Argan oil is ethically sourced from Morocco, the only place in the world where Argan trees naturally grow. The oil is golden-yellow in colour and is cosmetic use only. However, culinary-grade argan oil can be consumed and is used in Moroccan cooking. The oil is extracted from the kernels inside the Argan tree fruit using cold-pressing methods (not poop...) , preserving all its beneficial properties.

Main Benefits of Argan Oil:

1. Its Multifaceted like our Founder This is a super versatile oil that works beautifully on every part of your beauty routine. Use it as a facial moisturizer, body oil, hair treatment, eyelash conditioner or nail strengthener. It absorbs quickly without feeling greasy, making it perfect for all skin types but particularly beneficial for mature skin due to its ability to improve elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

2. Rich in Essential Fatty Acids & Vitamin E Argan oil has an optimum balance of oleic acid (Omega 9) and linoleic acid (Omega 6), plus it's loaded with Vitamin E, that powerful cosmetic gem & antioxidant. This combination makes it an exceptional moisturizer that nourishes your skin and hair from within, not just on the surface. The fatty acids help repair damaged skin barriers and protect against environmental stressors.

3. Allows you to shine bright like a diamond If you struggle with frizzy, dull or dry hair, argan oil is your answer. Just a few drops can transform your strands- adding that red carpet glow and softness. The oil penetrates the hair shaft to repair damage from heat styling and environmental factors.

Bonus: It's one of the less "smelly" carrier oils, making it perfect for those sensitive to strong scents.
