Cosmetic argan oil
Argan oil for face and body
A unique argan tree, the fruits of which serve as a raw material for the production of argan oil, grows in only one place on our planet - in the South-West of the Kingdom of Morocco, located in the North-West of the African continent. To obtain 1.5-2 liters of argan oil, about 100 kg of argan fruits are required (this is a harvest of 12-14 trees) containing about 30 kg of fruit seeds, from which about 3 kg of nucleoli are then used to make argan oil. Argan oil for therapeutic or cosmetic use is made by cold pressing unroasted argan seeds, so this oil is lighter in color than culinary argan oil (made from roasted seeds) and has almost no characteristic odor.
