We are using several products on our skin to balance, control and treat these problems.

Consumers are more careful and they try to find skin care products free from ingredients known to pose health risk such as parabens, petrochemicals, nanoparticules and artificial coloring.

In the Middle East, for thousands of years they have been using Argan Oil to treat their skin, hair and nails naturally. Argan Oil comes from the Argan tree which grows only in the arid southwest of Morocco, in the back-country of Essaouira-Agadir. The oil comes from the kernel inside the stone of the tree’s fruit, extracted from the first cold pressed.

This amazing oil can be used on everyone at all ages. Argan Oil is rich in essential fatty acids Omega’s 6 and 9 (43% oleic acid and 36% linoleic acid). As well as these fatty acids, it is rich in tocopherols (vitamin E) ans polyphenols, which are natural antioxidants. It also contains lipids such as sterols and squalene.  Argan Oil composition gives it extraordinary properties: it prevents skin dryness, improves hydration, slows down the natural aging process and regenerates and restructures skin. As well as its anti-aging properties, it also fights against acne and psoriasis scarring (by cell regeneration).

From this spice is extracted an oil part of the traditional Koranic medicine. Already present in ancient Egypt, as tested by Egyptologists, a flask was found in the Toutankhamon tombstone: it was said that it would preserve eternal beauty. Nigella Oil is recommended in case of skin irritation, eczema, psoriasis, mosquito bites, light burns, sun burns, chaps and mycosis.  It possesses soothing, healing, regenerating, revitalizing and anti-inflammatory virtues. It is particularly indicated for dried, sensitive or irritated skins.
