What is organic argan oil?
Organic argan oil is the oil extracted from the kernels of the argan tree. Our pure, organic argan oil is golden in colour with a neutral scent.
Our argan oil is for cosmetics, so the argan kernels have been left untoasted to leave all the nutrients intact and the oil itself is undiluted and pure.
Our organic argan oil is certified organic by the Soil Association. We are inspected annually to make sure we comply with their strict regulations.
