What is Argan Oil?

Argan oil is a rare oil extracted from the kernels of Argan tree which is an endemic tree found in Morocco. It is loaded with essential fatty acids like linoleic acid, which is the precursor of vitamin E. This makes it well-known for its anti-aging, moisturizing and antioxidant properties. It has been scientifically proved that argan oil is able to correct the age related deficiencies in skin that cause dehydration and loss of skin elasticity. It is found to contain 700 mg per kilogram of tocopherols that is twice the amount found in olive oil. 

Application of argan oil has been known to reduce acne and chicken pox scars as well as treat acne, eczema and psoriasis. It helps in reducing wrinkles and softening the skin making it a popular anti-aging skin care product as it counters the effect of age and weather. 

People with brittle nails can make their nails stronger by application of argan oil. Used on hair, it adds a remarkable shine to dull hair. It restores and prevents damage to hair due to styling and outdoor activities, and also improves elasticity and reduces hair loss due to breakage. It is also known to sooth and provide relief from pain due to rheumatism and arthritis hence very suitable for use as a massage oil. Argan oil has a sebum regulating action on oily skin that reduces the oiliness hence suitable for all skin types. 

Neither solvents nor heat is used in our argan oil extraction. It is cold pressed and does not go through further processing after pressing which means a high nutritive quality. SliceOfNature Argan Oil is raw, virgin and unaltered.
