What Are Carrier Oils?
Carriers oils are found in practically every beauty product on the market, from hair treatments to skin creams to anti aging serums.
Usually unscented, carrier oils are safe to use directly on your skin and, for this reason, are used to dilute essential oils or other ingredients. Naturally rich in antioxidants, nutrients and active compounds, carrier oils are typically produced from seeds and nuts and are great for your skin.
Carrier oils are amazing oils in their own right containing skin nourishing essential fatty acids and other ingredients can work miracles on your skin and hair. In general, carrier oils are anti inflammatory, skin soothing and hydrating.
Make your own home skin and hair care products by blending carrier oils and essential oils that are full of nourishing goodness but contain no artificial ingredients or chemicals.
Argan Oil?
Argan oil is the natural oil harvested from the kernel of the nut of the argan tree. It is a precious oil prized for centuries in Mediterranean cultures and used by women (and men) in their beauty and health rituals. Our pure argan oil is sourced from the highest quality sustainable argan nuts and can help you achieve radiant glowing skin and lustrous shiny hair. Using cold press methods (heat can destroy the vitality of this luxurious oil), our Moroccan Argan Oil is 100% pure argan oil with absolutely no chemical or artificial ingredients.
Moroccan argan oil is traditionally called ‘Liquid Gold’ because it is naturally rich in omega 3 essential fatty acids and vitamins A, C and E and is beneficial in helping protect your hair and skin from environmental damage and premature aging.Â
