Argan oil comes from the seeds of fruit produced by the Argan tree - native to southwestern Morocco.  The seeds are cold pressed to release the oil.  The oil is rich in Vitamin E and essential fatty acids.

It has a long history of use in skin care - especially for its hydrating & moisture retention properties. It absorbs into the skin quickly and is ideal for sensitive skin and skin prone to dryness or general irritation. It is promoted for its ability to improve skin elasticity, while also reducing the appearance of wrinkles and other fine lines.

Argan oil is also widely used in hair care products formulated to diminish frizz, flyaways, occasional or chronic dryness and damage. The oil is becoming a prominent ingredient in high performance finishing serums designed to define curls or create a sleeker finish for straight styles.

Argan Seed Oil is widely accepted as a safe, non-toxic ingredient in both hair and skin care products.
