About this product
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Argan oil is a clear, yellow liquid with a strong, earthy aroma. It’s obtained by pressing the oil-bearing kernels of the argan fruit. Use directly on the skin or in creams, lotions and conditioners.
Argan oil has a pungent odour that requires careful masking with essential oils. When used in skin and hair care products, it offers an incredible range of benefits, boasting protective, moisturising, antioxidant and anti-ageing properties.
Our organic argan oil will keep skin supple, provide moisture and protect against free radicals. Combine it with camellia seed oil for use around the eye area, or use with rosehip seed oil and helichrysum essential oil to create a nourishing facial serum.
To enhance the qualities of argan oil, add evening primrose oil. This will boost gamma-linoleic acid (Omega 6) levels, promoting cell turnover and a smooth complexion.
