Cold Pressed, Unrefined Organic Argan Carrier Oil
Argan Oil is produced from the nuts of the Argan tree and is highly valued for its nutritive and cosmetic properties. Grown in North Africa, mainly in Morocco, the Argan tree grows wild in semi-desert soil, and is extremely well adapted to drought. Argan Oil is considered to be one of the rarest oils in the world due the small and very specific growing area and is under protection of UNESCO.
