1. DESCRIPTION OF ARGAN OIL:
Argan oil, extracted from the kernels of the Argan fruit from Morocco, is a valuable and nutrient-rich oil in skincare. It is known for its moisturizing, healing, and protective properties. Argan oil contains a wealth of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins, making it an ideal component for caring for dry, irritated, and mature skin.
2. EFFECTS OF ARGAN OIL:
Argan oil intensely nourishes and moisturizes the skin. It contains linoleic acid, which can help alleviate signs of acne and psoriasis, and is considered an important anti-aging ingredient. Carotenoids and Vitamin E in Argan oil offer antioxidant and cell-protective effects, firm the tissue, and protect against UV rays. Triterpenes in Argan oil have disinfecting properties and promote an even, smooth complexion. Argan oil is non-comedogenic, so it does not clog pores, making it suitable for caring for oily skin prone to impurities.
