What is ARGANIVA cosmetic argan oil?
ARGANIVA cosmetic argan oil is 100% pure argan oil, cold-pressed from unroasted argan kernels grown in the Souss-Massa region of southwestern Morocco — the only place in the world where the argan tree grows at scale. Nothing is added: no fragrance, no filler oils, no synthetic ingredients.
Cosmetic argan oil is pressed differently from culinary argan oil. The kernels are used raw, without roasting, which gives the oil a lighter texture, a faint nutty scent, and makes it suitable for use on skin, hair, and nails rather than in cooking.
How to use cosmetic argan oil
| Use | How to apply |
|---|---|
| Hair | Work a few drops through damp or dry lengths and ends. Can also be applied to the scalp. |
| Skin | Massage a small amount into clean skin, face or body, morning or evening. |
| Nails & cuticles | Apply directly and massage in to soften cuticles. |
A little goes a long way — argan oil absorbs quickly and a few drops are usually enough for face or hair.
Why cosmetic argan oil from Morocco
Morocco is the native habitat of the argan tree (Argania spinosa), which grows almost exclusively in the Souss-Massa region between the Atlas Mountains and the Atlantic coast. Argan oil has been produced and used in this region for generations, traditionally extracted by hand-cracking the kernels and cold-pressing the oil.
