This pale yellow “liquid gold” as we call is one of the rarest oils in the world produced from the nut of the Argan tree and in under protection by UNESCO. Firstly, cold-pressed into the oil, these raw kernels are hand-extracted, hand-grounded, and hand-kneaded for hours making it valuable. The preciousness can be judged by that fact that it takes 3 days for a person to extract 1 liter of oil.
Grown in Southwestern Morroco, it possesses nutritive, cosmetic and numerous medicinal properties to be widely used by the companies to develop their product line. Being rich in vitamin E, carotenes, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, it is consumed for manufacturing soaps, creams and shampoos. To name a few, anti-aging creams and aftershave lotions are one of the common products prepared by argan oil which we use in our day to day life. It nourishes the hair as well making it look strong and shiny.
