Natural Heroes 101. Argan Oil

What is Argan Oil (Organic & Cold-Pressed)?

Argan oil comes from the nuts of the Argan tree, Argania Spinosa. This tree only grows in Morocco. Argan fruits grow on the Argan tree; these are collected, and then the skin of the fruit is removed. Inside the fruit are 3 kernels full of argan oil. This oil is pressed from the fruits using a stone hand mill. The remaining substance is mixed with water and kneaded. The oil separates from the pulp. The pulp is squeezed, and what remains is argan oil. The oil is organic and cold-pressed to preserve all vitamins and antioxidants.

Pure Argan oil has a high content of unsaturated fatty acids and is an intense moisturizer that makes your skin smoother and softer. Argan oil does not feel greasy because it absorbs quickly into your skin.

What is so special about Argan oil?

Women's cooperatives have been set up in various places in Morocco to produce Argan oil. These women's cooperatives were established to provide women with fair wages. They decide for themselves when to collect the nuts, how hard to work, and when to offer the nuts.
