Argan oil, an ancestral beauty secret, has been part of Moroccan women’s skincare routines since the dawn of time. It was only later that this miracle elixir became internationally successful, when and how did this happen? Argan oil, what ‘marketing claims’ is it the victim of? And how do we manage to guarantee its authenticity and bioavailability within our laboratories at Prodigia? All the secrets are in this article: 

The argan tree also called “Argania Spinosa” is native to North Africa, mainly present in southwestern Morocco. It has been around for almost 70 million years. Its oval fruit the size of a nut hides in its pulp a stone with a very hard shell, containing 2 to 3 almonds called almonds. Note that it takes about 100 kilos of fruit to obtain 1 liter of argan oil, hence its rarity.

Its oil, although an ancient product, has made a remarkable entrance in supermarkets, parapharmacies and on the Internet over the past twenty years. In these times of “return to nature”, this “elixir” from Morocco is the delight of Western women in search of chemical-free skincare products and exotic beauty secrets.

The organic trend (paraben-free) and the fashion for the culture of the hammam led, in the 2000s, to an explosion of this product on the European market. The “tradition du Maroc” ranges are treatments considered exotic.

Beyond its “natural” image, argan oil has many virtues. Its high content of essential fatty acids and vitamin E gives it moisturizing, anti-aging and cell renewal properties.

To find argan oil in cosmetic products, it appears in the list of ingredients on the packaging, under the name ARGANIA SPINOSA KERNEL OIL. It may be listed as an ingredient, but what is rarely mentioned is the exact percentage of the oil in the product formulation.

Argan oil is generally used in small percentages in products on the market, but are marketed as argan oil based products. These are more marketing claims than real added value.
