Our Virgin Organic Argan Oil is pressed from the fruits of the Argan Tree (Argania spinosa), a tree that is native to Morocco and known to live up to 200 years. For centuries, Moroccans have used Argan Oil in skin care and within their nutritious diet.
Argan Oil remains one of the rarest oils in the world. A very labor intensive process, performed primarily by Moroccan women, is required to shell and crush the fruits prior to pressing the oil.
Virgin Organic Argan Oil possesses a remarkable ability to nourish, moisturize and improve skin elasticity. The oil is high in lipids including the omega-9 oleic acid and the omega-6 linoleic acid. Virgin Organic Argan Oil can be effective in treating dry skin, eczema, psoriasis, acne and sunburned skin. It is a good choice for inclusion in formulations for maturing skin. Its high polyphenol content makes it a strong anti-oxidant and adds to its stable shelf life. Virgin Organic Argan oil possesses anti-inflammatory properties and is a a highly beneficial addition to formulations intended to reduce swelling and ease muscular aches and pains.

Location: Killeen, TX This oil is oderless, so I had no problems mixing it or just using it straight out of the bottle. This oil is very versatile and easy to use. Just a little around my hairline before I used the blow dryer really made my hair baby soft and helped control fly aways or loose hair. Ladies this one is for you and him. Very promising!

Location: Sedona, AZ I've only been using this along with my personal blend of emu oil and acai for a few days, but so far I really love it. I dabbed it on a spot of eczema that was starting up, and it's gone after 2 days. I love products like this and I'm not allergic to it!...which is really wonderful for someone like me who cannot use commercial products. I have serious allergies and sensitivities. This is great stuff!
