  • Did you know that the Argania spinosa tree, the source of argan oil, thrives in just a few places on our planet? It is sometimes referred to as the 'healing tree' — for good reason! From its seeds, we extract this lovely, nutrient-packed oil that keeps your skin moisturized without a greasy feel. Argan oil, or 'Moroccan oil,' is loaded with triterpenoids for skin healing, polyphenols to help reduce inflammation, tocopherols for anti-aging benefits, and two unique phytosterols (schottenol and spinasterol) that are fantastic at fighting free radicals.
