Argan Oil

You may have noticed that lately there are many products out  there that have added argan oil as an ingredient.  For those of you who don't know, argan oil is an oil that is derived from a kernel tree found in Morocco. It's primary use is for food, and is healthy for the heart, it can prevent various cancers, and obesity. Studies have shown that replacing butter with argan oil can reduce harmful levels of cholesterol,  and triglycerides in the blood. It is similar to olive oil. 

Argan oil  contains vitamin E, phenols, squalene, and  fatty acids.  For food consumption, argan oil is roasted, but not for cosmetic purposes. 

Moroccans use non roasted argan oil to treat skin diseases, as well as an oil for both skin, and hair.  It gives hair strength, and shine.  Argan oil is used to treat wrinkled skin, and extremely dry skin.  A great hair mask that repairs dry damaged hair without making it feel greasy is by Agadir.  It is a moisture mask, available at Amazon.com.  For styling,  you can try Nick Chavez Advanced Plump and Thick Thickening Hairspray, which contains argan oil, as well as acacia collagen.
