• Supports beautifying anti-aging regimens.**

What is Argan Oil?

Derived from the nuts of the fruit-bearing argan tree that grows only in Morocco, the oil has been used in local food recipes for generations. Globally, argan oil has also gained acclaim in the natural health world as a beautifying topical serum for skin, hair and nails.**

Argan oil has notably high levels of linoleic acid and other omega-6 fatty acids, which are essential fatty acids (EFAs) that the body cannot produce on its own. Linoleic acid in particular has been shown to be effective in promoting healthy skin and soothing inflammation. The oil supplies vitamin E, which is renowned for its antioxidant activity, inflammation-modulating properties, and support for firm and healthy skin. Argan oil is also rich in polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that help to neutralize the age-accelerating effects of free radicals. Applied directly to hair, skin and nails, argan is rapidly absorbed to nourish and optimize natural, youthful beauty.**

While argan nut-derived oil is now well-established as a topical beautifying supplement, the health-promoting properties of argan fruit have also been investigated. Supplying many of the same phytochemicals as the oil, argan fruit extract has been shown to have a positive effect on blood antioxidant status when taken as an oral supplement.**

Argan Oil Products

Argan oil products are most often sold as beauty products, designed to be applied topically to hair, skin and nails; added to baths; or presented in natural hair shampoos and conditioners.**

Argan Oil Directions for Use

Always consult with your doctor prior to using any nutritional supplement. There is no standard recommended argan oil dosage. As a topical serum, the oil is applied sparingly – only a few drops massaged into skin, nails or hair will convey its beautifying benefits.**
