I first discovered argan oil, referred to as “liquid gold” in 2008 when I was visiting my soon-to-be husband in Morocco. He gave me a bottle as a gift and I was immediately amazed with how it moisturized, hydrated and softened my skin, body and hair in the Marrakech heat. I was familiar with other brands that advertised Moroccan oil, but knew they were filled with silicone, artificial preservatives, dyes, fragrance and contained little actual argan oil. I wanted to see where organic argan oil came from, so we visited many argan oil cooperatives in the region. Here’s what I learned. What Is Argan Oil Argan oil is produced from an Argan nut coming from Argan tree, which only grows in Southwestern Morocco. Local Berber women work in fair-trade cooperatives where they hand-crack the argan nuts in between two stones, a technique they’ve used for centuries. Instead of being put through a machine, the raw argan kernels are hand-extracted from the hard shell, hand-ground in a stone grinder, hand-kneaded for hours and first cold-pressed into the oil. It takes one woman three days to make just one liter of oil. This is why argan oil is so valuable. In 1998, the Argan forest in Morocco was designated a UNESCO protected biosphere so argan oil is sustainable. If you want to de-clutter your cabinet and simplify your beauty routine, argan oil can become your go-to beauty elixir from head-to-toe. It’s chockfull of essential fatty acids, anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals that promote your overall health by moisturizing, softening as well as protecting your face and hair from sun damage – without harmful toxins and Parabens. 10 Ways To Use Organic Argan Oil In Your Daily Life Face moisturizer After cleansing morning and/or night, massage a few drops of argan oil directly onto your face and neck. Since argan is considered a dry oil, it absorbs quickly and is not greasy. If you want to use it as a serum, apply your night cream after the oil absorbs into the skin. Hydrating toner Add a few drops of argan oil to your favorite facial toner to hydrate and tone simultaneously. You can make your own toner by adding a few drops of argan oil to Rose or Orange Blossom water. Rejuvenating & brightening face mask Add a few drops of argan oil to your store-bought mask. Alternatively, make your own mask by mixing 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 3 teaspoons of Greek-style yogurt, 1 tablespoon of honey and 3 drops of argan oil in a bowl. Apply on a clean, dry face and leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Exfoliating lip scrub and moisturizer To smooth and moisturize your lips, add a few drops of argan oil and vanilla extract to fine brown sugar. Lightly massage into lips using circular motion and rinse off. Face glow Add a drop or two of argan oil to your foundation, bronzer or tinted moisturizer for a dewy, luminous glow. Leave-on conditioner After the shower, while your hair is still wet, add a few drops of argan oil to your hair, ends and scalp to hydrate and moisturize. It’s especially nourishing if your hair is dry from daily use of a blow dryer, straight-iron or curling iron. Hair styling shine When your hair is dry, use as a styling product by adding a few drops of argan oil to the palms of your hand. Rub your hands together and run your fingers through your hair to create shine and tame frizz. You only need a small amount. It lasts a long time. Overnight hair treatment Massage a generous amount of argan oil into your hair, ends and scalp. Wrap your hair and leave it on while you sleep. In the morning, wash your hair and you’ll have luminous, soft locks. Cuticle and heel softener Massage a few drops of argan oil into your cuticles to soften, moisturize and encourage nail growth. Use as an overnight treatment to nourish cracked heels by working a good amount into your feet and toes. Cover with socks and wake up to supple feet. Body and bath oil Add a few drops of argan oil directly onto your skin, into the bath or body lotion. It’s safe to use on a baby and to help minimize stretch marks on a pregnant belly too.

Ulje argana, izvađeno drobljenjem zrna arganova voća, koristi se za njegu kose i kože. Postoji velika potražnja za uljem argana pogotovo zbog opsežnog marketinga i ograničenih količina. Brzo preuzima mjesto drugim prirodnim uljima u zaštiti kose. Ulje argana ima korisnu primjenu od kojih su najistaknutiji tretmani za kosu te zaštita kože i tijela. Zbog svojih prednosti arganovo ulje se često naziva tekućim zlatom. Ulje daje novi život suhoj, zamršenoj te lepršavoj kosi. Ima svojstva slična ulju jojobe. Međutim, ulje argana je nadmašilo ulje jojobe u tretmanima za kosu zahvaljujući izvrsnim rezultatima. Neke od njegovih očitih prednosti su: – hidratizira kosu na prirodan način. – zaustavlja kovrčanje i hrapavost kose na učinkovit način. – prodire u pore dlake i poboljšava elastičnost kose. To također dokazuje da je vrlo hranjiv za rast kose. – ulje je dobro za kosu koja ne podliježe kontroli. Vraća glatkoću kosi i čini je laganom za rukovanje. – prirodni antioksidansi prisutni u arganovom ulju jačaju kosu tako da obnavljaju oštećenu staničnu membranu kose. – prisutnost vitamina E u ulju argana ga čini izvanrednim ljekovitim sredstvom u tretmanima za kosu. Mnogi vanjski i unutarnji uzročnici, poput feniranja, ”peglanja” i proizvoda za stiliziranje (lak i gel za kosu), mogu jako oštetiti kosu. Vitamin E prisutan u arganovom ulju je vrlo koristan u obnovi prirodne kose i njenom obnavljanju zbog gore navedenih štetnih uzročnika. – ispitivači vjeruju da formula arganovog ulja čuva vlagu te dodaje i vraća sjaj kosi. – bojanje kose uzrokuje dodatno oštećenje kose, čini je krhkom i oduzima glatkoću. Tu se prepoznaje dodatna prednost korištenja arganovog ulja: liječi lomljive vlasi kose te povećava vrijeme trajanja boje. U ovom čak nadilazi ulje jojobe. – frizeri vjeruju da je ulje argana pravi izbor za liječenje i obnavljanje oštećene, suhe i slabe kose zbog prekomjernog korištenja proizvoda za stiliziranje kose poput gela, laka i voska. – ulje argana je bogato nezasićenim masnim kiselinama kao što su Omega 3 i Omega 9 koje su izravan izvor esencijalnih prehrambenih komponenata za korijen kose. Ove nezasićene masne kiseline jačaju strukturu vezanja proteina u kosu čime se poboljšava čvrstoća kose i liječenje ispucalih vrhova kose. Primjena arganovog ulja u kosi: Iznimno je važna primjena arganovog ulja u kosi. Arganovo ulje možete primijeniti prije ili nakon tuširanja. Prije tuširanja nanesite malo ulja na kosu te ga nježno umasirajte po cijelom vlasištu od korijena do vrhova kose. Koristite četku ili češalj kako bi ga ravnomjerno nanesli. Omotajte glavu vrućim ručnikom te nakon 20 do 30min temeljito isperite.
