Argan carrier oil is derived from the kernels of the argan tree's fruit. It is a rich source of vitamin E, which makes it an excellent antioxidant.
These antioxidant properties can be used to help eliminate and neutralise free radicals in the body, as well as protect it from external factors such as sun exposure.
Cold-pressed argan oil is also rich in essential fatty acids and saponins, making it a healthy choice for softening and brightening the skin.
In addition to these moisturising factors, argan carrier oil has also been shown to reduce wrinkles and other signs of ageing in the skin by helping to restore the skin's water lipid layer.
It is also an anti-inflammatory, so can be useful in reducing inflammation caused by injuries or infections.
Argan carrier oil is often used to treat and prevent stretch marks, and has been shown to improve skin elasticity over time.
It can be added to your routine to provide the benefits of antioxidants and essential fatty acids without any adverse side effects.
Argan oil has risen in recent popularity due to its notable benefits for hair, with its nutritional profile proving positive for reducing split ends and other types of common hair damage.
