Argan oil (also known as Moroccan oil) is derived from the Argania spinosa tree. This tree is known as the “healing tree” in the Moroccan region where it grows. This region is one of the very few places on earth where the tree thrives and bears a multitude of seeds. From these seeds comes an exquisite oil with excellent nutritive properties that protect and lavish the skin with moisture without imparting a greasy or oily skin-feel. Argan oil is rich with triterpenoids (skin healing properties), polyphenols (inflammation reduction), tocopherols (anti-aging activity) and two exotic phytosterols (schottenol and spinasterol) that are ravenous free radical scavengers.
