Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil
Also known as: Moroccan Oil · Liquid Gold
MoisturisingAntioxidant
“Morocco's liquid gold — a lightweight oil rich in oleic acid and Vitamin E.”
What it does
Argan oil is cold-pressed from the kernels of the Argania spinosa tree, native to Morocco. It is prized for its high content of oleic acid, linoleic acid, squalene, and tocopherols (Vitamin E). Despite being an oil, it has a relatively dry, non-greasy texture that absorbs well. It conditions and softens the skin, reduces transepidermal water loss, and has antioxidant activity from its vitamin E content. It is also widely used in hair care.
