What is Argan?

Or Argania Spinosa is a species of plant belonging to the Sapotaceae family, being endemic to the semi-desert areas in the southwestern Morocco, this means, it only grows in this area. The Argan tree grows to 8-10 meters in height and lives about 150-200 years. It grows in the area between Tiznit and Essaouira. The fruit is 2-4 cm long and 1.5-3cm wide, with a thick skin that surrounds the bitter shell with a sweet smell; It surrounds the fruits that contain 2-3 seeds that are rich in oil. The fruit takes one year to ripen, around June-July of the following year.

The surface area of Argania's forests has declined by 50% in the last 100 years, due to its use as fuel, grazing and intensive cultivation. Its best asset for conservation could be found in the recent development of the production of Argan oil for export as a product of high commercial value.

How do you get Argan oil?

The argan oil is obtained from the Argan seed, through the "cold pressing" technique. What does cold pressing actually mean? This basically means that, the Argan fruit after being handpicked, its oil is extracted at temperatures always below 27 degrees. In this way we obtain a higher quality oil, ensuring the conservation of all its properties and benefits.

Unlike other oil extraction techniques, such as distillation, maceration or the use of solvents, the cold-pressing technique is considered the most effective, since it extracts the oil without damaging it, and preserving this way all its antioxidants and moisturizing properties.

What's the difference between cosmetic and culinary Argan oil?

The Argan oil has gone from being a total unknown to be one of the most sought after beauty products in recent years. However, very few know that it is also one of the most desired delicacies in the kitchens and restaurants of renowned chefs, with an exquisite taste, incomparable to any other oil. The process of obtaining the culinary Argan oil however, varies from the cosmetic argan oil in that the culinary one requires roasting the seed extracted from the Argan fruit, before cold-pressing it, to obtain the famous Moroccan liquid gold.

Nothing more, both products are 100% pure Argan oil, with all its properties and benefits intact.

What does Argan Oil with organic certification mean?

The term organic refers to the growing methods used for herbs, plants and essential oils. For a company to be granted such a certificate, it has to follow a series of very strict rules in planting, cultivation and collection of the product. This ensures that the crop is free of artificial fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, growth hormones or genetic modifications. In Arganiux , we take the quality of our products very seriously, which is why we only use 100% pure Argan oil with organic certificate.
