I am\u00a0not surprised! Pure argan<\/a>\u00a0oil, labelled ‘liquid gold for the skin’ is a rich source of antioxidants and contains\u00a0twice as much vitamin E as olive oil.\u00a0It also has potent anti-inflammatory properties that can help those with arthritis or rheumatism and can help alleviate skin conditions such as psoriasis.<\/p>\n

It comes from the argan tree, which grows in Morocco. Traditionally harvested by woman from the\u00a0Berber tribes they use it to treat ailments such as dry skin, acne, wrinkles, joint pain and even stretch marks. This oil is precious and it takes up to 3 days to produce 1 litre when extracting\u00a0it the ancestral and traditional way. \u00a0Ensure you purchase your oil from an ethical company who have sourced their oil from a fair trade, female cooperatives.<\/p>\n

One tree can yield 180g of fruit annually. It takes 30kg fruit to get 2kg of Argan kernels and 48 hours of intense labour to get 1 litre of oil. For culinary Argan oil it takes an additional 30 minutes to roast the 2kg \u00a0followed by a further 180 minutes to grind the roasted\u00a0kernels to produce 1 litre of oil.<\/p>\n
