The precious protective oil for demanding skin. Argan oil from organic Moroccan argan nuts is particularly recommended for protecting mature skin. It leaves rough skin smooth and supple and soothes itching. Even very blemished skin benefits from the balanced fatty acid profile of organic argan oil. Its high vitamin E content acts as a free radical scavenger, prevents premature skin aging, and supports cell regeneration. Moroccan Berber women use argan oil both for cooking and for personal care: to protect the skin from the sun, the desert wind, and the aging process; to strengthen hair and nails; and to care for wounds. Argan oil is used to welcome newborns, the wood of the argan tree is used to reinforce houses, and its roots prevent desert soil erosion. The women say they learned all this from their mothers and will pass this knowledge on to their daughters. This is one of the reasons they call the argan tree the sacred tree, the tree of life. Application: Apply sparingly to slightly damp skin as a face and body oil and massage in gently
