Moroccan Origin

Grown using organic fair trade methods, argan nuts are rigorously selected before being dried naturally in the sun. The nuts are then separated from the pulp and shelled by hand to extract the kernel. The kernels are then pressed to obtain the precious oil.

We have selected a fair trade cooperative of Moroccan women to produce our argan oil. This quality chain enables us to showcase the work of these women by producing an exceptional quality of oil.
