Renowned for its extraordinary health and cosmetic benefits, Argan oil is proven to be effective for:
Slowing the aging process of skin and hair –Argan oil contains exceptionally high amounts of natural vitamin E and is known as an antioxidant which slows down the aging of skin. With a natural pigment of red or yellow, the oil contains Ferulic Acid which protects the skin against harmful UV radiation and thus prevents damage to skin and hair.
Strengthening the body's immune system and preventing infections – The oil contains Polyphenols, some of which are antioxidants that prevent damage and inflammations of the skin. They also help to protect the hair and body from nature's hazards (e.g., sun, dryness, etc.).
Preventing dryness and maintaining the quality of hair –Skwalan, an antioxidant found in Argan oil, helps to prevent dry skin and maintain healthy hair by balancing the natural milky secretion produced by skin and hair.
Maintaining the cell tissue – Moisture-rich Strolims found in Argan oil help to maintain the structure of cells and tissues, as well as the connections between cells.
Stimulating blood circulation and healing severe skin damages –Argan oil contains essential fatty acids (mainly Omega-6 and Omega-9). These acids protect cell structure, prevent loss of moisture and help heal skin damages such as dryness and burns. Fatty acids are also instrumental in stimulating blood circulation, reducing cholesterol triglycerides levels.
Strengthening of hair fibers –Argan oil is effective for strengthening nails, renewing the natural shine of damaged hair and strengthening hair fibers. The oil coats the hair with a protective layer which provides moisture and gives a noticeable shine and "wet look" for an extended period of time. The oil defragments split ends, helps to prevent dryness, strengthens the roots and assists in maintaining a healthy scalp.
Treatment of Scars –Argan oil contains ingredients that help to treat scars, wounds, burns, cracked skin, etc.
In addition to the benefits listed above, there are studies which indicate that Argan oil has an impact on the functioning of the pancreas.
