What it is
A non-fragrant plant oil expressed from the kernels of the argan tree, native to Morocco. It is rich in beneficial lipids and antioxidants.
How it works
Argan oil's high content of fatty acids (primarily oleic and linoleic acid) helps to replenish the skin's lipid barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss and improving moisture retention. Its antioxidant content, including vitamin E and ferulic acid, helps neutralize free radicals.
