What is Argan Oil?
Produced from the fruit of the Moroccan Argan tree (known as the 'Tree of Life'), Argan Oil is one of the rarest and most expensive oils in the world. It contains extremely high levels of Vitamin E and consists of 80% fatty acids which make it ideal for many skin ailments as well as protecting against premature aging.
Known to help soothe and reduce joint pain by slowing down the degenerative process, Argan Oil contains active anti-inflammatory compounds called triterpenoids which are known to help with acne, eczema, and scarring. It also contains 0.8% unsaponifiables (a large group of compounds also known as plant sterols or sterolins). Sterolins improve skin metabolism, reduce inflammation and promote excellent moisture retention.
What are the benefits of using Argan Oil on your skin?
