Argan oil is derived from the kernels of the Argan tree, native to Morocco.
It has a nutty flavor and is commonly used to dip bread or drizzle on pasta. It is also a key ingredient in cosmetic products for the face, lips, skin, and hair. The oil can help prevent itching, chafing, and redness associated with dry skin.
Argan oil is nutritious and high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. It is especially high in vitamin E, which supports healthy skin and a strong immune system.
New research indicates it may help prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
Studies have also shown that argan oil can slow signs of aging significantly in postmenopausal women who use it for over 60 days.
In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), it is considered a Tonic herb that also helps to Move Qi. The oil’s ability to Move Qi helps improve circulation and prevent the buildup of toxins that can block the skin and vessels.
