The Story Behind Arganosa
The Story Behind Argan: For centuries, local Berber women have hand-extracted this precious oil, using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Known as “liquid gold,” cold pressed argan oil has long been prized for its healing, nourishing powers, for both skin and hair in Morocco.
At Arganosa, we honor this rich heritage by working directly with women-led cooperatives in Agadir, preserving their craft while bringing you 100% pure, ethically sourced argan oil.
The Souss region is home to the unique argan ecosystem, recognized by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve. See More about Argan Tree HERE and HERE
Argan oil is rich in vitamin E and fatty acids (especially oleic and linoleic acid), which increase hair shine and hydration by up to 42%, as reported in dermatology studies.
A clinical trial on plant oils found that argan oil reduced hair breakage by 20–35% when used regularly as a leave-in conditioner due to its lubricating properties on the hair shaft.
Rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids (like oleic and linoleic acid), it works to reinforce the skin’s barrier. With regular use, it supports skin elasticity and radiance.
It deeply conditions facial hair, softens coarse strands, and helps eliminate flakiness or “beardruff” for a smoother, more styled look.
Argan oil restores elasticity and improves texture, making hair up to 85% more manageable, according to user-based testing by cosmetic brands.
Some preliminary studies show that argan oil can help stimulate follicles due to the high tocopherol (vitamin E) content, potentially leading to thicker strands over time.
