Argan
Argania spinosa · SapotaceaeIn one paragraph
Argan oil comes from the kernels of a tree that grows only in southwestern Morocco. It is high in oleic and linoleic acids and unusually rich in vitamin E. It has a faint nutty aroma and a silky, non-greasy feel that made its reputation.
How Nurtur Health uses it
Argan oil appears in two Nurtur products, including the Rosemary Hair Oil, where its reputation for hair is the point.
Traditional use
Used by Amazigh women in Morocco for skin and hair for centuries, long before it became a global cosmetic ingredient.
