First cold-pressed · From organic farming · 100% Pure
The liquid gold of Morocco.
There’s a reason why Argan oil has been called that for centuries. It’s not marketing—it’s history. It’s a color, a texture, an unmistakable scent that comes directly from one of the oldest and toughest trees on the planet. And once your skin experiences it, it won’t go back.
A millennial plant between desert and ocean
Argania spinosa grows exclusively in southwestern Morocco, in a semi-arid region between the Atlas Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. It is an extraordinary tree: it lives up to 200 years, withstands extreme drought and harsh temperatures, and sinks its roots deep to find water where others cannot.
Berber populations have known and used it for over 3,500 years. Amazigh women extracted the oil by hand, roasting the seeds and slowly pressing them—a long process passed down through generations. They used it to nourish the skin, protect hair from the sun and desert wind, and soothe skin irritations.
In 1998 UNESCO declared the Argan forest of Morocco a Biosphere Reserve, recognizing the unique ecological and cultural value of this plant. Today, Berber women’s cooperatives produce the oil using traditional methods, ensuring quality and social sustainability.
Why the skin loves it: the properties
Rich nourishment and fast absorption Rich in oleic acid (omega-9) and linoleic acid (omega-6), it helps nourish the skin’s hydrolipidic film, supports the skin’s protective barrier, and reduces transepidermal water loss. The skin appears softer and more elastic from the first applications.
Antioxidant action It contains a high concentration of natural vitamin E (tocopherols) and flavonoids, which help protect the skin from oxidative stress and damage caused by environmental exposure.
Skin appearance over time When applied regularly, it helps maintain skin elasticity and promotes a firmer, more radiant complexion.
Light and compatible with combination skin Despite its rich nourishment, it absorbs quickly without leaving greasy residues, making it suitable even for combination skin.
Soothing action Thanks to its natural components, it is suitable for sensitive, reddened, and irritated skin. It helps calm redness and promotes skin well-being.
Sun, sea, and tanning
Berber women traditionally use Argan oil to protect the skin from the harsh desert conditions. Applied before or after sun exposure, it helps keep the skin hydrated and soft, promoting an even and long-lasting tan.
⚠️ Does not contain sun filters and does not protect against UV radiation. For sun exposure, it is essential to use products with appropriate SPF.
