Argan oil is a natural plant oil extracted from the kernels of the Argan Tree (Argania spinosa L.), which thrives only in the Arganeraie Forest.
Covering over 3,000 sq miles (8,000 km²), the Arganeraie Forest is located in a calcareous valley in southwestern Morocco & has been designated as a UNESCO Biosphere reserve since 1998.

The fruit of the Argan tree, locally named “Afyach”, is the size of a walnut and hides under its pulp a core with a very hard shell that contains one to three kernels (small almonds) called “Tiznyn”.

To obtain one liter of the precious liquid, one needs to process manually 34 kgs of fruits through multiple labor-intensive steps (depulping, nut crushing, sorting) which takes around 20 hours. It has to be noted that an average Argan tree yield 1 liter per year.

This oil is extremely rich in healthy nutrients such as fatty acids, squalene, sterols, polyphenols and vitamin E and is therefore a must-have product to revitalize and rejuvenate your body.

Anyone can use Argan Oil. This oil works on all skin and hair types, even oily skin for it is well known for being non-comedogenic, which means it will not clog your pores.

It nourishes, protects and strengthen your hair. It is very efficient as a treatment for hair dryness & fluffiness. It also repairs damaged hair and gives shine to dull hair.

Prickly pear seed oil, aka Barbary fig seed oil, is a natural plant oil extracted from the seeds of the Cactus fruits (Opuntia Ficus Indica), which thrives only in semi-desert area such as the Guelmim Area in Morocco.

In order to obtain 1 liter of PPSO, almost 1 ton of cactus fruits is needed to obtain around 30 kgs of seeds, which are in turn squeezed inside an expeller press. Furthermore, its composition is unique for it contains more Vitamin E than argan oil and boasts the highest concentration of potent antioxidants called Betalains.

This wonder from the sahara desert is suitable for all skin types. It works perfectly for anyone suffering from skin trauma, severe sun damage, environmental stress, aging, hyper-pigmentation, hormonal and wrinkle prone skin. It is safe to use all over the face, even near and around the eyes.

We use the Expeller pressing method, which is a chemical-free mechanical process that extracts oil from kernels/seeds. Fed into the Expeller press, kernels/seeds are squeezed under high pressure to liberate the oil from the matrix without any chemical solvents.

An expeller press is a screw-type machine that mainly presses oil seeds through a caged barrel-like cavity. Kernels/Seeds enter one side of the press and waste products exit the other side. The machine uses friction and continuous pressure from the screw drives to move and compress the kernels/seed. The oil seeps through small openings that do not allow seed fiber solids to pass through.

Choose a dark glass container for an optimum storage. Darkness prevent the oil’s best properties to be broke down by light and Glass is chemically inert whereas plastic cause chemical changes to your precious liquid.

The best way to store AO/PPSO is to keep it away from heat and light since both break down the oil’s best properties. Prefer a cool place & avoid putting it under the sun.

Yes. Since the extraction is mechanical and do not use high temperature to soften the kernels/seeds before extraction.

Yes. The acidity value of the oil is the only criterion to classify it as extra-virgin or not. It has to be lower than 0.8, which is the case for our oils.

Yes. We are certified and approved for organic processes by ECOCERT for US and European standards. It concerns all our products.

Only companies registered at the EACCE, which is a Moroccan official institution that supervise and coordinate national exportations that allows companies to export. This institution inspects regularly production units and analyzes every batch upon export to ensure only genuine products are exported and meet international safety standards.
