Argan Oil

Argan oil, pressed from Moroccan argan nuts, combines oleic and linoleic acids with an unusually high tocopherol (vitamin E) content, plus sterols and ferulic-acid-linked antioxidants. It nourishes and softens, improves barrier function, and offers real free-radical defence — studies document improved elasticity. Its balanced fatty-acid profile makes it friendlier to combination skin than heavy occlusives, and it adds shine management for hair as well. At 2–10% in creams or pure as a night oil it suits dry, normal, and mature skin. Fair-trade sourcing matters ecologically; quality is recognisable by a light, nutty scent and golden colour.
