Argan oil is derived from the nut of tree “Argania Spinosa” native to Morocco. The oil rich in vitamin E and fatty acids is very popular for its use in the skin and haircare industry. For hundreds of years the natives of woodlands in Morocco pressed the argan nut to squeeze out the precious oil that they would use to nourish skin and hair. Argan trees are relatively slow growing and the argan forest is so revered that it was declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO. Zongle Therapeutics Argan Oil is extracted through cold pressing the kernels of the argan tree. Southwestern Morocoo is the only place where Argan seeds are cultivated. The nuts of the Argan tree are essential components which help in the extraction of its essential oil that is called “Liquid Gold”. The cold pressing method preserves the integrity of the oil's fatty acids and vitamins.

This ability makes argan oil the preferred choice of carrier oil for acne prone skin.

After a busy day, your skin deserves some pampering! After cleansing at night, massage a few drops of pure argan oil directly onto your face and neck. Since it is considered a dry oil, it absorbs quickly and is non-greasy. So, use it as a nighttime moisturizer to lock in the benefits. It can also be applied as a serum, just apply your night cream after the oil absorbs into the skin.

2. All-Natural Skin Care

It’s a bottle full of essential fatty acids, antioxidants, vitamins (especially Vitamin A and Vitamin E) and minerals.

6. Prevents Acne

For people with acne prone skin, applying oils of any sort seems counterintuitive. Because acne is often the result of excessively oily skin. Whereas, many oils and moisturizers can exacerbate acne, argan oil actually soothes skin and promotes healing. Since argan oil is non-greasy, it helps to balance skin by providing natural moisture it needs without clogging the pores. Argan oil helps in repairing and regenerating dead skin cells. It may also be helpful in treating acne but that is contingent to the cause itself. If you have hormones related acne, then it is advised to consult a dermatologist before using any oils.
