Organic Moroccan Argan Oil (INCI: Argania Spinosa Nut Oil) Argan Oil is mechanically pressed from the fruits of the Argan Tree (Argania spinosa), a tree that is native to Morocco. These evergreen trees survive from 125 to 450 years. In traditional medicine, argan oil benefits conditions such as acne, scars or burns and chicken pox. Argan oil is recognized for its moisturising, rejuvenating and hydrating effects on the skin and for strengthening and beautifying the hair and nails. Authentic Argan Oil often has a tiny bit of sediment at the bottom of the bottle and it appears a bit “cloudy”. It is caused by crystallisation of its unsaponifiable fraction. This fraction is composed of fatty alcohols (also called "waxes"), tocopherols, carotenoids, sterols, etc. This "sediment" or insoluble fraction in the oil, is therefore an essential part of argan oil. It enhances its emollient qualities, the softness it gives skin and its antioxidant properties. The highly refined or fake oil will not have this sediment and will look very clear.
