Argan

Argania spinosa

The nuts of argania spinosa (commonly called the argan tree), which are mainly found in Morocco, yield argan oil. Argan trees are also found growing in regions of Israel and Algeria, although sparingly. As the oil is only produced in few regions where this tree grows naturally, it has a limited supply and has always been in great demand. The technique of extracting the oil from argan nuts is not only complex, but the oil also has a very short shelf life - anything between 3 months and 6 months. Hence, it is not surprising that argan oil is one of the most expensive oils available anywhere across the globe. Argan oil has been promoted as excellent oil for skin care and the health of hair. As a result, this oil is employed as a major ingredient in numerous cosmetic products.
