What is Argan Oil?

Argan Oil is derived from the nuts of the argan tree in Morocco which are cold pressed for their oil. Argan oil has been used for centuries in many ways. Its popularity partially started in the world of Moroccan cooking, often used in recipes as a salad dressing. It contains several unsaturated and saturated fatty acids, as well as other compounds like polyphenols, squalene, and triterpene alcohol. 

Argan oil has a golden color and rich consistency.

Benefits of Argan Oil

Argan oil comes from a tiny kernel that is cold pressed. Argan oil packs a punch with what it can do for you. The fatty acids in it, like linoleic and oleic acids, are very hydrating and nourishing. It also contains vitamin E and antioxidants that can prevent breakage and damage from free radicals. 

Here’s how argan oil can be beneficial for your hair and skin:

Minimizes frizz.

Everyone wants silky, smooth hair — minus the greasy residue. That’s why argan oil has become such a trendy choice for many: It adds a hydrating boost to calm frizz, while staying light on your strands.

It adds lighter moisture that won’t weigh hair down, while also promoting your hair’s overall health.

Protects against heat and styling damage.

To maintain the health and beauty of your hair, it’s important to have a shield against any intense heat and styling you’re doing.  Argan oil can be a natural remedy for that.  The oils add a protective layer to the hair and help strengthen hair that’s been damaged by too much heat or chemicals.  

There are studies that show argan oil improved the quality of hair that was intensely colored or dyed.

May help treat wounds.

Applying argan oil may also benefit any mild scrapes and scratches. A 2017 review suggests that since argan oil has anti-inflammatory properties, it may help with irritated burns and wounds.

May help as an anti-aging treatment.

Could argan oil be the “Fountain of Youth,” too? More research needs to be done to know for sure. some studies suggest that this oil may have some anti-aging properties by increasing the elasticity of the skin.

When shopping for Argan oil…

Look for pure argan oil (usually in a dark glass bottle) to get the most benefit out of it. This is because certain brands of argan oil have excessive amounts of fragrances and chemicals that can be irritating to your skin and hair.

Whether you want to calm frizzy hair or give your skin some moisture, this natural oil can help in more ways than one.
