The Heritage
of Argan Oi
A Timeless Moroccan
Treasure
Argan Oil, often referred to as “Liquid Gold,” has been a cornerstone of Moroccan culture for centuries. Native to the UNESCO-protected argan forest in southwestern Morocco, this oil has been cherished for its versatility and numerous benefits. Traditionally, it was used for cooking, skin nourishment, and hair care by local Berber women.
Sustainably Sourced
The argan tree, also known as the “Tree of Life,” is vital to the local ecosystem, preventing soil erosion and providing livelihoods to local communities. At Arganizm, we work closely with cooperatives led by Moroccan women to ensure the argan kernels are harvested sustainably.
By partnering with these cooperatives, we actively contribute to women’s empowerment in rural Morocco. Our commitment ensures fair wages for these women, providing them with financial independence and opportunities to support their families and communities. Through this collaboration, we preserve traditional harvesting techniques while fostering social and economic progress.
Traditional Meets Modern
While we honor the traditional cold-pressing methods, our production process incorporates modern technology to enhance efficiency without compromising the oil’s integrity. This combination ensures that our Argan Oil retains its rich nutrients, including Vitamin E, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants.
The Heritage
of Argan Oi
Rare and Precious
Prickly Pear Seed Oil is one of the most luxurious oils in the world, known for its exceptional concentration of Vitamin E and powerful antioxidants. Extracting this oil is an intensive process, it takes over one million seeds to produce just one liter of oil, highlighting its rarity and value.
A Moroccan Secret for Radiance
Traditionally, this oil was used in Moroccan remedies to heal and rejuvenate the skin. Its ability to deeply hydrate, reduce wrinkles, and brighten the complexion has made it a sought-after ingredient in high-end cosmetics.
Sustainable Harvesting
Prickly pear plants thrive in Morocco’s arid regions, requiring minimal water and supporting biodiversity. By sourcing from these regions, we ensure sustainability while empowering local communities.
