- Argan oil is touted as one of the best carrier oils to use in hair care products. Phenol compounds as well as the antioxidants of the naturally occurring essential fatty acids found in Argan Oil have shown an ability to strengthen hair follicles on the scalp. On top of that the vitamin A & E found in the oil can improve scalp health. According to Healthline, Argan oil can moisturize your hair and scalp and protect your hair from everyday damage. By reducing breakage and split ends and keeping your scalp healthy, argan oil may help prevent hair loss to help users achieve thicker, fuller hair.
- Argan oil is made from the Argan tree (Argania spinosa) which is indigenous to Morocco and Algeria. This Moroccan oil is made by cold pressing the unroasted fruit kernels of the tree. It is loaded with fatty acids such as Oleic acid, Linoleic acid and Palmitic acid among others. It also contains traces of Vitamin E (tocopherol) and carotenoids that are beneficial for skin and hair. To keep the fatty acids viable and extend its shelf life, argan oil should be kept in a cold, dark location such as in a refrigerator.
- A comedogenic ingredient is a substance that has a high likelihood of clogging pores which can lead to acne, blemishes and blackheads. The comedogenic rating of Argan oil is 0 out of 5 (5 being the most severe clogging). Conclusively, this means that Argan oil won't clog most people's pores but for those whose skin is easily irritated due to sensitive skin or oily skin, it is recommended to perform a skin patch test of Argan oil on the inner arm for 24 hours before using over a larger portion of the body. If redness, itchiness or irritation occurs, discontinue use.
- Argan oil can also be added to unscented shampoo to repair dry, brittle hair. As a natural anti-aging cosmetic, it has been added to face creams, lip balms, shampoos, moisturizers and soaps. Topically, Argan oil helps your body hydrate, moisturize and nourish the skin, showing an ability to reduce fine lines and wrinkles and tighten and firm skin including stretch marks. It is also widely used in hair care products and for use to strengthen nails.
