Product Information

Storing your oil in the fridge also serves to prove its authenticity, as it will harden. If your argan oil doesn’t harden, it’s not authentic. The success of the argan co-operatives has also encouraged other producers of agricultural products to adopt the co-operative model. [20] The establishment of the co-operatives has been aided by support from within Morocco, notably the Foundation Mohamed VI pour la Recherche et la Sauvegarde de l’Arganier (Mohammed VI Foundation for Research and Protection of the Argan Tree), [21] and from international organisations, including Canada's International Development Research Centre and the European Commission. [ citation needed] Pure argan oil glides on easily, is light on the skin, and is absorbed into the pores to give a glow like no other. It is suggested for use as a night moisturizer before bed to help reduce wrinkles, especially around the eyes.

Although these results are encouraging, more research is needed to understand how argan oil can be used medicinally in humans to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.

Today, local women’s cooperatives have been set up throughout southwest Morocco, enabling the profits to be shared between the women and keep alive the knowledge of how to process argan for oil. Phong C, Lee V, Yale K, Sung C, Mesinkovska N. Coconut, Castor, and Argan Oil for Hair in Skin of Color Patients: A Systematic Review. J Drugs Dermatol. 2022;21(7):751-757. doi:10.36849/JDD.6972 Argan oil has two primary uses. The most common is in cosmetics (especially products for hair, skin, and nails), and the other is for cooking. Don’t mix the two up. You shouldn’t eat cosmetic argan oil, although you could use the culinary oil for massaging into your skin. Sufferers of sensitive skin can enjoy the healing properties of this all-natural oil. For those with olfactory sensitivity, the argan oil scent disappears within a few minutes of being applied to the skin. Much of the argan oil produced today is made by a number of women's co-operatives. Co-sponsored by the Social Development Agency with the support of the European Union, the UCFA ( Union des Cooperatives des Femmes de l’Arganeraie) is the largest union of argan oil co-operatives in Morocco. It comprises 22 co-operatives that are found in other parts of the region. [19]

Lin, T.-K., et al. (2017). Anti-inflammatory and skin barrier repair effects of topical application of some plant oils. Argan oil is a plant oil produced from the kernels of the argan tree ( Argania spinosa L.), which is indigenous to Morocco and southwestern Algeria. [1] [2] In Morocco, argan oil is used to dip bread in at breakfast or to drizzle on couscous or pasta. It is also used for cosmetic purposes. [3] [4] Properties [ edit ]

I can highly recommend making a traditional Moroccan dip called amlou. This is a blend of roasted ground almonds, honey, and salt, which turn into a dip or paste that you can spread on fresh Moroccan bread known as khobuz— and one of the tastiest foods to try in Morocco. You can apply argan oil directly to damp or dry hair to improve moisture, reduce breakage, or reduce frizz. a b c d L. Siegle (February 12, 2012). "The trees of life.

To extract the kernels, workers first dry argan fruit in the open air and then remove the fleshy pulp. [12] Some producers remove the flesh mechanically without drying the fruit. Moroccans usually use the flesh as animal feed. A tradition in some areas of Morocco allows goats to climb argan trees to feed freely on the fruits. The kernels are then later retrieved from the goat droppings, considerably reducing the labour involved in extraction at the expense of some potential gustatory aversion. [13] In modern practice, the peels are removed by hand.

The oil came to the attention of the outside world in the 1990s and is now highly sought after for culinary and cosmetic purposes. Goats are one of the primary threats to the argan forests because they climb the trees to graze on the leaves. The goats, and the aggressive fruit-harvesting techniques of some locals, can damage branches and dislodge the buds that are essential to the next year’s production. Argan oil also contains traces of tocopherols (vitamin E), phenols, carotenes, squalene. [5] Some trace phenols in argan oil include caffeic acid, oleuropein, vanillic acid, tyrosol, catechol, resorcinol, (−)- epicatechin and (+)- catechin.
