Argan oil is produced by the nuts found on argan trees which are native to Morocco - these nuts contain between 1 and 3 oil-rich argan kernels which is then extracted by cracking and roasting the nuts to produce what we know as argan oil.

• Vitamin E - helps maintain healthy skin and eyes, and strengthens the body's immune system
• Phenols - found in plant-based compounds like argan oil, this acts as a highly effective antioxidant helping to prevent damage to DNA from free radicals
• Carotenes - this is converted by the body into Vitamin A which supports healthy skin, eyes, and boosts your immune system 
• Fatty acids - help to produce the skin's natural oil barrier so therefore helps to keep skin looking hydrated, plumper, and younger looking

• Boosts elasticity

• Prevents & reduces stretch marks - the skin regeneration and repair qualities of argan oil help to reduce inflammation and minimise stretch marks
• Prevents & minimises sun spots - argan oil contains a physical filter against UV light which therefore helps to prevent sun damage, and it's skin repair qualities including Vitamin E help to fade sun spots resulting in happy, glowing skin

• Reduces breakouts - reducing sebum production helps to prevent clogged pores leading to breakouts

Argan oil is very beneficial if you suffer with acne as it helps to fight against and reduce acne scarring. It does this by promoting natural skin regeneration, hydration, and elasticity. When you buy store bought acne remedies, they often contain ingredients that strip the skin of it's natural oils causing dry skin to take its place and then sebum production increases tenfold to supplement the lost oils. This then leads to clogged pores, and further breakouts and scarring. This is argan oil comes in to play - argan oil soothes and reduces inflammation that comes along with acne breakouts, it then helps to control sebum production which helps to reduce further clogged pores, as well as promoting self-exfoliation which helps to allow your pores to breathe. In terms of helping to reduce existing acne scarring, the Vitamin E it contains promotes natural skin repair and antioxidants that work to repair and heal damaged skin. What more could you want??
