Why Use Argan Oil?

Argan oil comes from the argan tree, which originates in Morocco. Often referred to as liquid gold, argan oil contains many beneficial vitamins, antioxidants and fatty acids, and is highly valued for its cosmetic, nutritive and medicinal properties. Use argan oil for massages, to treat acne and eczema, to moisturize your skin and hair and to add essential oils to your food.

Skin

• Argan oil is a natural and safe moisturizer for all ages and skin types. This easily absorbed oil is rich in fatty acids and is useful for protecting the skin from pollution and sun exposure. Argan oil has antimicrobial properties and will help heal skin lesions. Use argan oil to prevent and reduce stretch marks and fade scars caused by chicken pox and other skin irritations.

Food

• Culinary argan oil has a nutty aroma and delicious taste. Culinary argan oil is not only useful for adding flavor to food, but also offers many nutritional benefits. The oil contains many healthy essential oils and vitamins that are beneficial for protecting the body from free radicals and keeping the body properly supplemented. Use culinary argan oil by mixing it with other oils, such as extra virgin olive oil.

Hair and Scalp

• Argan oil is beneficial for both the hair and the scalp. For the hair, argan oil moisturizes, reduces damage, reduces split ends and often increases hair growth. Argan oil also restores shine to dull hair and is ideal when used on dry and frizzy tresses. For the scalp, argan oil is beneficial for keeping the scalp hydrated, well nourished, healthy and protected from dandruff.

Acne

• Sebum is an oil produced by the body. An overproduction of sebum often results in acne. Argan oil is beneficial for controlling sebum production and reducing acne. The oil also prevents the inflammation and redness that typically occurs with acne as well as the appearance of scars caused by acne.

Eczema and Psoriasis

• Eczema and psoriasis are skin conditions that produce red and scaly rashes on various parts of the body. While argan oil will not cure these skin conditions, the oil is effective for treating eczema and psoriasis symptoms by reducing skin inflammation and lessening the dryness and irritation of the skin.
