Scientific research shows that Argan Oil is very high in essential fatty acids that are vital for building healthy cells and preserving the protective barrier on the surface of the skin, ensuring the epidermus is moisturised. Argan Oil also has very high levels of Vitamin E, carotene and squalene – important antioxidants that provide protection against ageing by repairing oxidative skin cell damage caused by the environment.
To obtain these full benefits of Argan Oil, it is vitally important to use the highest quality. Argan Life’s Argan Oil is cold-pressed and non-deodorised. This is Argan Oil in it’s purest, raw form and has the highest level of antioxidants. Argan Life’s oil is rare in Australia because most suppliers provide dedorised oil that has been steam distilled to remove the aroma. Deodorised oil is still classed as organic, however the steam distillation process destroys more than 20% of the antioxidants. Furthermore, the bulk of the oil in hair products and cosmetics is actually industrial Argan which has been heat extracted using hexane.
Argan Life Australia choose to source our Argan personally from a women’s cooperative that has over 10 years experience and employs more than 150 local village women. Sadly, although all Argan sellers use advertising images of Berber women making oil, most of the oil is produced by commercial laboratories because it is much cheaper for companies to buy the nuts from the co-operatives & farmers and make the oil elsewhere. This means the women are deprived of the profits and the oil produced is not authentic. Argan Life is the only company in Australia that provides photographic evidence of where our oil is made.
Co-operative oil is not only better for your skin and hair, but has a wonderful socio-economic effect. Co-operatives were established by the Moroccan government to ensure the traditional owners of the Argan forests, the Moroccan Berbers, remain involved in Argan production. The goal of the co-operatives is to provide employment and education on how to care for the Argan groves. The co-operatives are organically certified by Ecocert. Argan Life Australia is also an Australian Certified Organic (ACO) processor, which means we are annually audited to ensure that our manual handling of Argan oil conforms to the highest organic standards and every drop of our precious oil is traceable. Our extra efforts to personally source our oil and maintain the strict accreditation required of ACO, is our guarantee to our customers that our Argan Oil is 100% pure, authentic and the finest available in Australia.
Debbie –
Hi after wasting so much money on other products I found argan life. I have been using the argan oil on my face now for at least a month. And my skin is loving it. I also use the deluxe hair oil and I’m sure that it’s saving my hair. I’m not having as much breakage. As I was before. I use it as a leave in conditioner, as I just carnt find leave ins that agree with my hair and scalp. And my hair is much softer and has a great shine now. I don’t mind the cost as the products do what t their meant to do. I don’t do many reviews at all. But as I have now been using a few off arganlife products and I love them all. The soaps great to and the clay mask I love as well. I myself will continue to buy arganlife as my skin and my hair are really loving it. If you just try it I’m sure you will love it to thanks Sally. Keep up the good work.

As I have very fair sensitive skin I’m not sure whether oil will promote sunburn (sunscreen irritates) so have only used at night. The oil is soothing and after a few days use my skin does seem to be improving. Will try other products in range.

Hi Carol,
Thank you for your review and we are glad you find the oil soothing. Thank you!
It is fine to use Argan at any time of the day that suits you. If used in the morning and given time to absorb, it will not promote sunburn. At the same time, it will not provide protection against UV radiation in the way that protective clothing and sunscreen will do.
cheers
Sally
