The
story of argan oil :
There is a country where nature has transmitted
her humility and generosity to men. It’s a country of
astonishingly splendid and rich scenery bathed in dazzling
light. In this mosaic of panorama there is a magnificent knotted
venerated tree considered as a protector that contains a beauty
secret. In Morocco this country of contrasts, the argan-tree
spreads out its privileged domain. It’s in this country where
the people possess the ruggedness and beauty of their land that
this tree has chosen to resist, seeming to be reincarnated from
its own skeleton. Nowhere else in the word can you find argan
oil, only the women of the argan orchard know how to extract the
precious little known juice with precise gestures, as if
jealously protecting it. With this desire to share so
characteristic of Morocco, Argamine has chosen to offer you the
exceptional properties of argan oil.
Properties and benefits:
The
composition of argan, a most stable unique oil, endows it with
many benefits which are scientifically proved today. Argan oil
presents an exceptional percentage of essential fatty acids, one
of which is linoleic acid (the most essential of all) ensuring
the functions of repair and defence of the skin. They stimulate
intracellular oxygenation and thus favour the restoration of the
hydrolipidic film by increasing the nutriment content of
cutaneous cells and ensuring the indispensable moisturizing of
the skin.
The essential fatty acids fight against drying and the loss of
elasticity which encourage the appearance of wrinkles. The skin
gains suppleness, elasticity and tonicity and becomes more
resistant.
This beneficial action against cutaneous ageing is reinforced by
a very high content in Vitamin E (tocopherols) hydrating and
healing, but especially one of the most powerful biological
antioxyders which neutralizes the free radicals. Vitamin E
protects the cell membranes against lipid oxydization and thus
slows down the process of skin ageing.
By
its triple action, regenerating, hydrating and anti-oxydizing,
argan oil is a complete and performing skin care, a natural
authentic fluid dedicated to the beauty and health of the skin
Conception:
If we often hear that argan oil is "miraculous"
it is because it has always been used in the Moroccan
pharmacopoeia to cure many ills: it relieves rhumatism, heals
slight burns, acne, chicken-pox, chapping and presents an
undeniable dietetical interest because of its oleic-linoleic
characteristic. Veronique Prévost knows the secrets of nature
and plants very well. For her the virtues of argan oil are
obviously not due to a miracle ! " Empirically known for
thousands of years, the benefits of argan oil are today
scientifically proved. They reside in a composition of
unsaturated fatty acids (essentially linoleic acid) with the
functions of defence and repair of the epithelium, but also very
rich in tocopherols (vitamin E) moisturizers and very strong
antioxydants. In the insaponifiable fraction of argan oil,
research has shown the presence of phytosterols (active, healing
and protecting) carotenes and antioxidant polyphenols in
addition to tocopherols. Argan oil also contains squalene, a
very hydrating* substance that normalizes skin pealing whence
the interest of using it as hair care. In addition argan oil has
a remarkable facility of penetration and does not provokes
comedons ". *moisturising of the upper
