A perennial favorite of the beauty world, the kernel from the Moroccan argan tree boasts a bevy of skin-happy constituents. Ours is cold-pressed and organically grown. A light oil that is easily absorbed by the skin, Argan oil helps moisturize, prevent acne, heal acne scars and other wounds, and reduce inflammation. [1] [2] [3]

Argan oil contains tocopherols (vitamin E), phenols, carotenes, squalene, and fatty acids, (80% unsaturated fatty acids)[5] The main natural phenols in argan oil are caffeic acid, oleuropein, vanillic acid, tyrosol, catechol, resorcinol, (−)-epicatechin and (+)-catechin.
