Ingredients

Argan

This oil is affectionately known as “liquid gold” in its native Morocco. On my annual trips to Morocco I’ve been lucky enough to watch the process of extracting the oil from the nut by Moroccan women who do this by hand. Each nut is cracked between two stones. The kernels are then removed, crushed with a pestle and mortar and then ground into a thick paste by hand with a stone. The paste is then squeezed by hand to produce the oil. It’s fascinating to watch! This beautiful golden oil is packed with vitamin E and is anti-ageing, anti-inflammatory and wonderfully healing.
