Argan oil contains a large amount of powerful antioxidant Vitamin E, plus many essential acids, making it a useful emollient in any skin and hair care line.
Pressed from the kernels of argan trees, argan oil comes from Morocco. There, the oil is used in both culinary preparations as well as a skin and hair care oil, but it is largely exported for use as an emollient in cosmetics lines. Composed of several different essential acids and Vitamin E, argan oil helps to nourish skin, restore elasticity, and reduce the appearance of the fine line and wrinkles associated with aging. The high concentration of Vitamin E, especially as compared to other natural oils used in cosmetics, makes it an antioxidant powerhouse. Argan oil is also used for conditioning, healing, and protecting the skin against the environment.
