The 10 Most Popular Uses of Argan Oil
Arganoil has been touted as Hollywood’s secret beauty elixir. Considered the crème
de la crème of cosmetic oils, Argan oil is exclusively produced in Southern
Morocco. This luxurious oil is known to heal many skin conditions. It works as
an antioxidant, with high levels of skin-nourishing vitamin E (tocopherol),
squalane, carotene and fatty acids.
Sourcing
the very rare Argan oil has been a daunting challenge. We wanted to source
direct from Morocco. We wanted not just pure Argan oil, but one with organic
certification. After a series of sampling from several suppliers, we found a
good source with ECOCERT certificate. It took a long while to get the shipment
to the Philippines. We have to contend with extended production lead time. We
have to adjust to the new Argan oil export regulations of Morocco.
