Argan oil is extremely popular nowadays, which is confirmed by many celebrities from all over the world, who emphasize on various international forums how much they enjoy this oil.
But why is this substance so popular as a beauty elixir?
The argan tree is one of the oldest tree species in the world. It was once also found in southern Europe, but now only comes from southwestern Morocco. The Berbers have long used the oil extracted from the fruit of the tree, more specifically the argan nut, for skin and hair care and for the preparation of various dishes.
Argan oil is an important source of vitamin E and contains three times more vitamin E than olive oil. It also has a high fatty acid content, which increases the effectiveness of the skin's natural protective layer, but is also effective in treating eczema, psoriasis and chicken pox.
Argan oil is also popular in hair care, as it has been shown to help restore the hair's natural shine and make dry hair softer and silkier.
Argan trees have another valuable property, which has contributed to the Moroccan government's decision to plant thousands of argan trees in certain areas of the country in the coming years. We are talking here about the fact that argan trees can help stop desertification because their deep roots collect large amounts of water and stabilise the soil.
