Why Argan Oil?

ARGAN OIL - WHY DID I CHOOSE IT?
Hello, I'm Dara from ZELEN Organic Shop. I want to tell you about one of my favorite products, which I constantly use with great pleasure, namely argan oil.

Argan oil is extracted from the thorny tree Argania spinosa, which grows in Southwest Morocco. In this area, there is an Argan forest of about 21 million trees, which is listed as an endangered species by UNESCO. The Argan tree, or as the locals call it "the Tree of Life", reaches 8-10 meters in height and can live for over 200 years. Its fruits are small and oval, similar to an olive, but a little larger, and contain one or two nuts.

Argan oil is extracted using ancient technology, through special stone mills. To produce 1 liter of argan oil, about 80 kg of nuts are needed. And precisely because of this, it is called "the liquid gold of Morocco". Argan oil is used in both cooking and cosmetics.

Thanks to its high content of fatty acids and antioxidants, argan oil regulates blood pressure, balances cholesterol, and supports liver function. It is even considered to be much better than extra virgin olive oil.
 

USE ARGAN OIL FOR SKIN!
In Bulgaria, argan oil is most often used in cosmetics because it has exceptionally good properties. It falls into the category of dry oils because it is not as greasy and absorbs faster than other vegetable base oils. It has an anti-aging effect, thanks to the fatty acids it contains, it also moisturizes the skin, making it soft and smooth, and is a powerful antioxidant. In addition, argan protects the skin from inflammation and eczema, soothes acne and sensitivity. Since argan oil has a sun protection factor, albeit a low one, it can be used to achieve a bronze tan similar to that of Moroccan women.

FEEL THE INCREDIBLE EFFECT OF ARGAN ON YOUR HAIR!
Argan oil is also extremely beneficial for hair because it strengthens it by restoring its moisture and improving hair elasticity. It also nourishes the scalp, adds volume and shine to the hair, and protects the ends from splitting and breakage.

Interestingly, in addition to skin and hair, argan oil is also suitable for nails, making them stronger and preventing them from splitting.

I personally have been using pure argan oil for some time and I am extremely happy with it. I advise you to always buy argan oil that is cold-pressed and in a dark glass bottle, as light changes its structure and reduces its beneficial substances!
 
HERE ARE A FEW EASY IDEAS ON HOW TO USE ARGAN OIL:
In the evening before bed, after washing your face, apply a few drops of oil. This way it will be well absorbed into your skin and in the morning there will be no trace of shine. You can also rub it into your nails to strengthen them.

For hair: you can apply it to dry or slightly damp hair, first spreading the oil on your hands and carefully distributing it along the length and ends of the hair. For deeper nourishment, apply to the scalp and along the length of the hair, wrap your head with plastic wrap or a special cap and leave it on for at least 15-20 minutes, then wash your hair.
