    Argan Oil for Skin Care. From Argand’Or.

    Argand’Or has been known since 2005 for high-quality personal care products which are manufactured on the basis of argan oil. The company solely uses argan oil from the Arganeraie and ensures that the oil has been produced with the gentle method of hand-pressing: Argand’Or receives its oil directly from the more than 20 women's cooperatives which are organised in the UCFA (Union des Coopératives des Femmes de l’Arganeraie). The union ensures a guaranteed income for the Berber families and helps to maintain the social structures and the unique cultivated landscape of the Arganeraie forests. All Argand’Or products have been produced according to the Natural Cosmetics Standard of ICADA (International Cosmetic and Device Association).

    Traditional Production Carried out by Women. Hand-Pressed Argan Oil.

    The traditional production of argan oil is literally in the hands of women. It is women who carry out the many stages of work by hand: from harvesting the fruits to peeling off the fruit pulp and cracking the nuts to grinding, kneading, and pressing the seeds. They grind the seeds in stone mills and press the resulting paste by hand. That is the most gentle kind of pressing – without any heating or excessive pressure, which otherwise might destroy the sensitive vitamins and effective ingredients. Finally, they filter the extracted argan oil carefully and restrain from any further processing. In his way, they reliably preserve all of the precious contents and the natural argan aroma.

    Valuable and healthy. Argan oil from the Moroccan Arganeraie

    The Moroccan Berbers have been using argan oil for thousands of years - in the kitchen, where it refines almost every dish, as well as for body care. In Europe, the valuable and rare oil has long since become an insider tip. For good reason, because the creamy-nutty oil not only tastes delicious, but is also extraordinarily healthy. It consists of over 80% unsaturated fatty acids, has a very high content of vitamin E and protects the human cell organism with its antioxidants. Applied to the skin, argan oil is quickly absorbed without leaving a greasy or shiny film. It moisturizes, which has a positive effect on skin tension, and it is also very well tolerated by sensitive skin as well as skin prone to irritation. The precious oil is extracted from the argan fruits of the arganeraie. Only in this area in the southwest of Morocco, between the Atlantic Ocean, the High Atlas and the Antiatlas, grow the argan trees (Argania spinosa), which are now threatened with extinction. In order to protect them and support the sustainable production of argan oil using stone mills and cold pressing, UNESCO declared the Arganeraie a biosphere reserve in 1998 and placed the traditional production of argan oil on the "List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Urgent Need of Preservation".
