Product Overview

Our organic Argan Oil is harvested from trees that grow wild, high in Morocco’s Atlas Mountain region. This nourishing and Vitamin E-rich ‘dry’ oil has been gaining popularity in recent years for its ability to deeply moisturize skin and hair without leaving a greasy residue. It has a very mild, fruity, nutty aroma, and is processed from the unroasted kernels to preserve the beneficial antioxidants. It is expeller pressed and charcoal filtered, but otherwise unrefined.

The traditional process to extract Argania spinosa oil is time consuming and labor intensive. The trees grow in wild, remote areas of southwestern Morocco where local villagers gather the fruits that have fallen naturally to the ground. These fruits are sun-dried for several weeks, then cracked open with stone tools to reveal the kernels inside. In an arduous process performed mostly by women, the kernels are manually ground and hand pressed to release the precious Argan oil.[1] In recent years and in some production areas, improvements in the methods of extraction using mechanical equipment have resulted in reduced labor costs and higher yields.[2]

Our supplier employs 115 women who are responsible for the whole chain of Argan oil production - manually picking, sorting and crushing the best Argan nuts. Compared to machine production of this oil, smaller production capacity is paired with having the highest quality standards, while significantly contributing to the improved welfare of the local population.[3]

Argan oil contains an unusually high concentration of Vitamin E (tocopherols) and a form of Vitamin A (carotenes), vital components for maintaining beautiful skin and hair. It is particularly useful in mature skin preparations, mostly attributable to its high fatty acid and essential fatty acid content. Our cosmetic grade (non-roasted) Argan Oil may be incorporated into your skin and body care preparations or can be used on its own. As a ‘dry’ oil, Argan is best used at 5% to 10% of the fixed (carrier) oil portion of massage formulas.

Sooooo Rich!!

I love the plants grown in Africa/Middle East! Argan is no exception! I used “argan” (I’m putting it in quotes because I don’t think it was a pure oil) from a supplier before & it made me break out. Had a strange souring aroma as well & was quite yellow. This argan hasn’t broke me out, I use it as eye cream basically aha, in my nail care oils & lip balm. It has a scent, it’s not bad & is pale yellow. I’ve been crafting lots with it & it’s the best I’ve found. Too good, I just wanna bathe in it! :))

Question

Rating

I just received the Argan oil from Eden Botanicals, there are so many stuff in the oil and I am not sure what's that, is this safe to use and what is that? From the Oil Room: Per our website, Argan may be clear to slightly cloudy. According to our supplier, the appearance of some sediment and cloudiness in Argan is in fact a sign of the authenticity of 100% pure and unrefined Argan Oil. It is completely safe.

Wow!

I have been using Eden for my EO needs for years but never really dabbled in their carrier oils; so much I have been missing out on. This Argan oil is by far the best I have ever used and I have used too many to count as this point. This is silky but non-greasy and absorbs amazingly fast. My hair and skin thank you Eden for providing us with yet another knockout oil. Also very fairly priced for the superior quality.

Amazing!

I used Argan Oil when I ran out of my usual oil, and will never go back to previous brand. My skin is so sensitive to just about every skin care on the planet. What an unexpected surprise when I used Argan oil (had nothing else to use, ran out of usual skin care.) Wow! I am now almost finished with the two ounce bottle and just now reordering! And...my skin is dry/oily combo. Argan not only works beautifully it does not contain a multitude of other ingredients. Thank you Eden Botanicals!
