The Argan (Argania spinosa) tree, an extraordinary thorny tree primarily found in the southwestern regions of Morocco, yields one of the world's rarest oils from its seeds. Flourishing in the arid climate of this area, the fruits of the Argan tree require nearly a year to ripen. Comprising a thin, fleshy, and challenging-to-peel exterior surrounding an inner nut with up to three large seeds, it is these seeds that are rich in essential fatty acids, tocopherols, phytosterols, and triterpene alcohols.

Argan oil boasts an impressive composition, with up to 80% unsaturated fatty acids, predominantly Oleic acid (45%) and Linoleic acid (35%). Additionally, it contains around 1% of unsaponifiables containing biologically active substances such as phytosterols, triterpene alcohols, tocopherols, hydrocarbons, carotenes, and xanthophylls.

Our Virgin Argan Oil undergoes deodorization to eliminate the pungent scent, remaining unrefined. To counteract oxidation, we store and ship Argan oil under an inert Argon gas blanket. While refrigeration is not immediately necessary, for long-term storage, we recommend keeping Argan oil under refrigeration.

Research has identified the optimum required HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) for Argan Oil as 11, as noted in the article "Argan oil-in-water emulsions: preparation and stabilization" by Yaghmur et al. (Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, January 1999, Vol 76, Issue 1, pp 15-18).

The refining process removes the strong coconut aroma and any impurities, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

• Neutral Scent: The refining process removes the coconut scent, making it ideal for blending with essential oils without altering their aroma.
• High Smoke Point: This characteristic makes refined coconut oil suitable for various heat-based processes, like massage therapy with hot stones or other techniques.
• Moisturizing: Refined coconut oil retains its hydrating properties, making it beneficial for skin and hair care.
• Versatility: It can be used in a wide range of personal care products, from lotions to hair serums.

Uses as a Carrier Oil Refined edible coconut oil can be used in various applications as a carrier oil:

• Skincare: It can be used to dilute essential oils in lotions, creams, and serums, providing a light, moisturizing base.
• Haircare: Refined coconut oil can be mixed with essential oils for hair masks and conditioners to promote shine and reduce frizz.
• Massage Therapy: Its light texture makes it ideal for massage oils, providing smooth glide without leaving a heavy residue.
• Aromatherapy: As a carrier oil, it can be used to dilute essential oils for use in diffusers, inhalers, or topical applications.

Safety Precautions

• Patch Test: Even though it's a carrier oil, always perform a patch test to ensure there's no allergic reaction or irritation before using it extensively.
• Quality: Use high-quality, food-grade refined coconut oil to ensure it's free from impurities and suitable for use on the skin.
• Storage: Keep refined coconut oil in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed to prevent contamination or spoilage.

Storage Store refined coconut oil in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Although it's less prone to solidification compared to unrefined coconut oil, it may still solidify in cooler temperatures, which doesn't affect its quality.
