## About
For centuries, Moroccan women have kept argan oil for their skin, hair and nails, and many traditional beauty secrets begin with it. This is the liquid gold of that tradition, in a refined, deodorized form that leaves room for whatever scent you choose to add.From Argania spinosa, it is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, including linoleic acid, an omega-6 present at three times the concentration found in olive oil, along with natural tocopherols that protect it against oxidation and give it a fairly long shelf life. On the skin it is nourishing and protective, supports the skin's hydro-lipidic film, and penetrates rapidly, leaving an extraordinary softness behind. It suits all skin types, from dry to oily or combination, as an all-over body oil or in facial care.In the hair it brings brightness, softness and a silky finish, and it conditions dull hair back to shine and luster.DetailsBotanical name: Argania spinosaRefined and deodorizedRich in linoleic acid (omega-6) and natural tocopherolsCan be used at 100%, normally 2 to 10% of a blendHow to useUse it at 2 to 10% in a blend of other oils, or at full strength as a body oil, perhaps with a touch of rose and sandalwood.
