Oils are having a moment in the beauty spotlight with coconut oil cleansers and rosehip oils being a beauty favorite. The third oil in the super trio is argan oil, a natural powerhouse created from the argan tree, endemic to Morocco, which has adapted to the harsh and arid weather conditions. The precious oil is extracted from the plant kernels and is considered the rarest oil in the world. Known for its extremely nourishing qualities for both skin and hair, argan oil is packed full of fatty acids, vitamin E, and carotene. Medicinally, it is used to help heal burns and rheumatism. Argan oil is also used to treat flaky skin conditions as well as acne.
Here are the top argan-infused formulas.
