What is argan oil?Argan oil is a vegetable oil extracted from the seeds of the argan tree, which is native to Morocco. The tree's fruits are round, walnut-sized, and green in colour. When the fruits are ripe, they are harvested to extract the oil from the seeds. This oil is known as 'liquid gold' because of its many properties and uses in cosmetics and food. Its principal property, which is beneficial for hair and skin, is its great nourishing, almost restorative capacity, visibly improving the texture of the hair fibre and skin. For example, it is ideal for moisturising dry skin or brightening dull hair. |
What properties does argan oil have?Argan oil's properties are rooted in its composition and chemical structure. It is rich in unsaturated fatty acids, particularly oleic acid. It is also full of antioxidants, such as vitamin E, which helps fight free radicals and prevent premature ageing, and essential fatty acids (omega 6 and omega 9) that regenerate, nourish, and soften. It is also a super potent active ingredient that provides a natural shield for your skin. Did you know that it also helps to restore the skin's barrier? This makes it a staple if you suffer from dryness or irritation.
