What is Argan oil?
Argan oil is a seed-based oil that is extracted from Marrakesh where the farmers grind the fruit by hand to produce the oil before the very eyes of tourists visiting the region. There have been several attempts to export out this plant species and grow it in other regions across the globe but to no avail. The area that surrounds Essaouira and Agadir is perhaps amongst the only places in the whole world where the argan tree grows naturally. The tree can survive extremely hot climatic conditions. The fruit from this tree produces a kernel that is harvested and cold-pressed in spring season to create the famed Moroccan oil.
The traditional applications of Argan Oil include its consumption in both topical and oral forms. Enriched with numerous beneficial properties and nutrients Argan oil can help improve skin and hair health. A little over 30 kilograms of Argan nuts are needed to churn out one kilogram of oil, causing the price tag to sore especially when purchasing pure, and quality oils.
