Moroccan Argan Oil is extremely rich in nutrients including fatty acids, vitamin A & E where it has been used for centuries by the Berbers for medicinal, culinary & beauty purposes. The oil is extracted from the kernel of the Argan tree by cold pressing to maintain its high concentrations of vitamins, minerals & powerful anti-oxidants. The properties it contains are particularly beneficial for hair, skin & nails making it a popular cosmetic choice with celebrities.
For the Face & Body: Moroccan Argan Oil is not just a moisturiser, with the properties of vitamin A & E studies have shown that the oil has anti-aging benefits & reduces the appearance of wrinkles, blemishes & can be applied to the eye area to eliminate dark circles & to promote brow/eye lash growth. It really does provide the ultimate skin hydration, so no more dry scaly skin. Argan oil is also good for skin conditions such as acne & rosacea. The oil also works as an anti-inflammatory as it contains healing properties which help in cases of eczema, psoriasis, skin infections, scars & wounds. To use as an exfoliator mix a little brown sugar with a few drops of the Argan Oil & massage in to the skin. Argan Oil also works great under makeup providing a more glowing dewy look. For Hair: Argan Oil is not just food for skin, but also superb in treating dry, damaged hair by strengthening the hair follicles leaving hair conditioned, shiny & vibrant. The oil can also be applied to the scalp to treat any scalp issues. For Hands & Nails: Argan Oil can be used for the treatment of dry dishwasher hands & nails.

The Argan tree is believed to have originated in a village named Argana, which lay to the north east of the Moroccan city of Agadir. This Argan tree nut contains kernels, which are the source of the beauty serum Argan Oil.
Moroccans have been using Argan oil as a skin moisturiser and hair conditioner since ancient times. Phoenicians in as early as 1550 B.C. have recorded the use of Argan Oil by locals to heal and beautify their bodies. In 1510 African explorer Leo Africanus came across the Argan Oil when he was travelling across Morocco. From there, the oil entered Europe where only the rich and wealthy class had access to this expensive, rare and exotic oil. Today, even after 3,500 years, the Berber women of Southern Morocco are known for their exotic beauty. And their secret is applying this precious golden oil regularly to their faces, nails, hair and body as it is full of rich antioxidants, rejuvenating Vitamin E and other agents that add glow, youth and beauty to hair and nails. |
