Argan oil, the treasure for self-care

Argan oil is a plant oil produced from the kernels of the argan tree (Argania spinosa L.) that is endemic to Morocco. Its production, which takes place only in Morocco, is depleted, thus it is one of the most expensive and valuable oils. Unroasted oil is traditionally used to treat skin conditions, and due to its beneficial effects, it is of growing interest between cosmetic companies in Europe.

Argan oil is ideal for daily skin and hair care, as it offers:

Anti-wrinkle protection: Rich in vitamins A, E and omega fatty acids, it has a strong antioxidant effect against the factors that cause aging, offering tightening and nourishment to the skin.

Hydration: Just a few drops of argan oil are enough to provide deep hydration to both body and face. It is ideal for dry or dehydrated skin, while it is absorbed quickly, without leaving traces of oiliness.

Increase of skin’s elasticity: This quality makes it ideal for preventing the formation of stretch marks. In addition, if you have scars, vitamins A and E will rejuvenate the skin, making them look smoother.

Strengthening of eyebrows, eyelashes, nails and hair reconstruction: Argan οil is not only beneficial to the skin. It significantly contributes to the strengthening of eyebrows and eyelashes, it is ideal for the care of brittle nails, while offering reconstruction to weak hair. Thanks to its non-greasy composition, it moisturizes hair without weighing it down, repairs dry and dehydrated edges and protects from the appearance of split ends.
