Argan oil: Morocco's golden treasure for your natural beauty

Argan oil is much more than just a beauty product: it is a true ancient elixir that will transform your daily skincare routine. Used for centuries by Berber women in Morocco, this precious oil now reveals all its secrets to naturally enhance your skin and hair.

What is argan oil?

Argan oil is extracted from the fruit of the argan tree, which is native to southwestern Morocco. This rare oil requires nearly 30 kilograms of fruit to produce a single liter of pure oil, which explains its exceptional value.

There are two types ofargan oil:

  • Cosmetic argan oil: for the face, hair, and body
  • Argan oil for cooking: roasted, with a subtle nutty flavor
