What is it?

Argan oil is a natural oil that is extracted from the kernels of the argan tree, which is only found in Morocco and has been a resource for beauty for centuries. It is light, nutty-tasting, and can be used on its own or mixed with other oils or natural ingredients to create a custom blend for a wide array of potential health benefits. Although Argan oil is an exclusively Moroccan natural resource that has been exploited as an ancient tradition in Morocco, it is now very popular and used across the globe in different culinary, cosmetic, and medicinal applications.

Argan oil is also called Liquid Gold or Golden oil for its potential health benefits given its capacity to nourish and hydrate the skin effectively thanks to all the Vitamin E, fatty acids, and antioxidants it contains.

This luxurious oil is highly prized for its cosmetic properties. It has a variety of benefits for the skin, hair, and nails, and is very known for its anti-aging, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is often used as a treatment to moisturize and protect the skin, prevent hair loss, and promote skin and hair regeneration.

Argan as a Skin Care

Argan oil is a popular natural treatment for skin conditions such as acne, eczema, and psoriasis. The high concentration of antioxidants in Argan including Oleic Acid or Linoleic Acids can help fight aging by neutralizing free radicals which cause damage to cells over time.

The beauty benefits of Argan oil are endless. It can be used in skin creams, lotions, scrubs, and serums to provide essential nutrients for the complexion, while also acting as an anti-aging agent by fighting signs like wrinkles or fine lines on the face with its cholesterol-lowering properties.

Argan as a Hair Care

Studies say that this oil of the desert, Argan Oil, has powerful properties to improve hair quality by preventing damage and preserving natural pigments (melanin). It also can enhance dye retention after undergoing multiple treatments on color-treated locks. This is an incredible finding considering how harsh this process can be for the hair.

Not only does it work wonders on dryness but this magical liquid has been known to make hair thicker too so one would never want another shampoo again when argan oil's rich moisturizing factor will leave hairs looking shiny without any residue left behind.

 Its use

There are no guidelines for the appropriate use of argan oil. While it is included as a basic ingredient in many skincare and hair care products as mentioned earlier, it can also be applied to the skin or hair in its pure form. In this case, it is mostly recommended to dab a few drops onto the skin while applying circular movements until it is absorbed, or massage the oil into the scalp before combing it through your hair.

Quality

While Argan Oil can be easily found at any cosmetic store in Morocco, it is important to look for the oil that respects the standards used to produce the finest cosmetic oils to ensure the processing quality is high and the oil extract is pure.

Bottom line

Argan is the golden oil that has been used for centuries for a variety of culinary, cosmetic, and medicinal purposes. The Moroccan tradition considered it the best companion for skin and hair care. It is rich in essential nutrients like Vitamin E, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds which make it perfect for beauty treatments.

Research indicates that Argan may help prevent and cure various scalp conditions by soothing irritation and repairing the skin and scalp.

Argan's unique qualities make it an ideal candidate to help treat those pesky problems. Many people who suffer from these problems report great results where they testify the benefits as being both immediate and long-lasting.
