Argan oil is a valuable product used in Moroccan traditional medicine and beauty routines for centuries. Obtained from the fruits of argan trees, which grow especially in the southwest of Morocco, this oil has an important place in the culture of the Berber people. In the past, argan oil was used for health, skin care and hair care, and today it has become a well-known and popular natural product all over the world.
Argan oil is obtained from the argan forests on the edge of the Sahara Desert in western Morocco. This region is the natural habitat of the argan tree and has special climatic conditions that affect the quality of the oil.
Production: Argan oil is obtained by cold pressing. Cold pressing preserves the natural nutrients and vitamins of the oil, ensuring a high-quality product. Oils obtained by traditional methods are produced using manual processing and stone mills, which increases the quality. The kernels of the argan fruit are used in the production of the oil. These kernels provide the oil with its characteristic rich and slightly hazelnut scent.
Color, Aroma and Smell: Argan oil is usually pale yellow or golden in color with a slightly nutty scent. Its scent profile is both nutritious and natural. Argan oil is often used as a carrier oil in aromatherapy. Its scent note is light and nutty, while its aroma strength is moderate. These properties provide a balanced and effective use in skin and hair care.
Storage: It is recommended that carrier oils obtained by cold pressing be stored in a cool, dark place to maintain freshness and reach maximum shelf life. If stored in the refrigerator, bring to room temperature before use.
