ARGAN OIL
Native to Morocco, our authentic extra virgin organic premium unrefined argan oil certified by ECOCERT and USDA NOP is obtained from the fruit of the Argan tree which has been used for centuries by the Berber tribe of Morocco.
We are excited to source this wonderful cold pressed extra virgin organic argan oil directly from Morocco where the co-op of more than 100 women who collect the nuts are supported through social responsibility.
The argan tree which grows to 8 metres high and can live to 200 years, bears fruits when it is 5 years old.
Flowering in April, the fruit contains up to 3 oil-rich seeds which takes over a year to mature - ripening in June/July of the following year. Up to 3 kilos of almonds are used to produce a litre of this gorgeous oil. The crushed almond is kneaded for 2 hours to separate the oil from the paste. The oil has a unique profile of fatty acids, tocopherols & squalane and contains more mg/kg of tocopherols than olive oil.
Argan oil is traditionally used to regenerate the skin. This cold pressed non roasted extra virgin organic argan oil from Morocco can also be used to condition cuticles and moisturise the hair. Organic argan oil is great at reducing frizz and repairing dry/damaged hair/split ends.
Our authentic virgin organic argan has an FFA (free fatty acid) of 0.56% and peroxide value of 1.9%. The oil might solidify under colder temperatures due to the presence of natural palmitic + stearic acid
