Argan oil
We do not have mass production because we do not want to dilute our oils, and mass production is not possible with this valuable oil if the oil is to be 100% natural!
Argan oil has made a name for itself over the years.
But what exactly makes it so special?
This valuable oil is the ideal moisturizer and deeply repairs skin and hair. Due to its high vitamin E content, it strengthens hair roots and fingernails. The roasted version of argan oil is also a delicacy and very popular in gourmet cuisine. Our argan oil is 100% pure, natural, and unfiltered. This makes it a nourishing oil for every skin type, every age, and every skin condition, and it's even edible.
Another notable feature is that the argan fruit only grows in a specific region between Agadir, Essouira, and Marrakesh in Morocco, where it is still produced by hand by women's cooperatives. This process requires a great deal of patience, centuries-old expertise, and it can take up to eight hours to extract one liter.
The women’s cooperatives in Morocco :
The UNESCO-protected reserve is home to the argan tree, which takes up to 50 years to grow and bear fruit.
As the sun rises in the mountains of Souss-Massa-Draâ (near the city of Agadir), Berber women are already hard at work. They collect the fallen argan fruits and let them dry in the sun. The shelling and cracking of the nuts is done in a cheerful group effort, accompanied by singing and conversation.
After the laborious cracking of the argan nuts, they are milled by hand. A traditional stone mill is used to grind the argan kernels into a paste. Finally, another laborious step follows: kneading the paste until the liquid gold is formed.
In total, the hardworking women work almost the entire day to produce one liter of valuable argan oil. This work is a protected women's profession!
APPLICATION
Argan oil works best when applied to the skin morning and evening, and to the wet ends of your hair after each shampoo. Just one drop is sufficient.
Please note that every hair type is different, and the oil will work at different speeds on each hair type. For dry or curly hair, the oil can usually be applied to dry hair. For hair that isn't dry, we recommend applying the oil to wet hair so it can be absorbed better. (However, the absorption of the oil will always be affected by the amount of silicone from previous treatments, as our oil is 100% pure and doesn't fake the results.)
Try to clean your hair with silicone-free products if possible or use hair washing soaps (also available from us).
We recommend a once-weekly treatment with up to 6 drops. Apply the oil to a dry scalp in the evening or throughout the day and massage it in. This process allows the vitamin E to penetrate deep into the hair roots. After a few hours, the oil can be washed out with shampoo.
Argan oil also has a positive effect on nail growth in all care processes.
