How Argan Oil works
Argan oil regenerates the hydrolipidic layer of the skin to prevent dehydration of the skin and activates oxygen in the cells. It protects the connective tissue in the skin so that it remains elastic and slows down the aging process. It is suitable for all skin types – dry skin and sensitive baby skin, skin with acne, eczema, or first wrinkles. It prevents the formation of stretch marks and helps to strengthen fragile nails and hair. The most important characteristic of argan oil is that it does not clog the skin pores and is absorbed very quickly. Skin does not remain greasy and does not shine. Oil can also be used by all those who have oily skin, as it regulates the elimination of sebum.
Argan oil is known for helping to regenerate the skin and prevent its aging, thus keeping it youthful and elastic. It contains extraordinary amounts of vitamin E (93.7 percent more than olive oil), which suppresses aging. Unsaturated essential fatty acids protect the skin and neutralize free radicals.
Production of Argan Oil
For the production of Argan Oil, kernels of olive-like fruits, which grow once a year, are used. The collection of argan fruits takes place between June and August. This work has always been performed by women only. When the fruits are cracked, the pulp is removed, the nuts are hand-handled, and then the seeds are removed and, if necessary, roasted. From the roasted kernels of the argan tree, they produce edible oil, and from the untreated cosmetic oil for skin care. For the production of one liter of oil they need sixteen hours of manual work and about 40 kg of fruit.
Did you know?
- Argan oil is obtained from the ancient argan tree, which the Berbers call the “tree of life”? It is closely linked to their way of life, as they use the wood and shells as fuel.
- The nuts of the argan tree, which grows only in Morocco, are picked only by women who today are joining forces in so-called cooperatives, through which they jointly appear on the market? Many women are financially dependent on the argan tree and its products. So at YANUMI, we have decided to only purchase oil from fair trade. This means that we buy oil, nuts that the women pick themselves, on their own land, and pay them a fair price.
- To produce argan oil, the kernels of olive-like fruits that the trees bear once a year are used. The fruit picking takes place between June and August. When the fruits are harvested, the women manually shell the nuts, then remove the seeds and roast them as needed. From the roasted kernels of the argan tree, they obtain edible oil, and from the unroasted, cosmetic oil for skin care.
- It takes a total of sixteen hours of manual labor to produce one liter of oil, and about 40 kg of fruit?
- YANUMI’s cold-pressed argan oil with its organic certification confirms that it contains no parabens, phenoxyethanol, or other added substances?
