Why We Love Argan Oil

Posted by A J on June 04, 2018

Facial oils are a great addition to your skincare routine that offer several benefits for you. We are happy to share information on the oils we love and look forward to providing you with a curated blend of natural oils for healthy skin.

Argan Oil

Argan Oil is a golden, smooth oil traditionally used in Morocco for both culinary and beauty purposes. With a rich blend of fatty acids and antioxidants, Argan Oil provides many benefits for your skin. We like Argan Oil because it has high levels of linoleic acid, a natural fatty acid. If you have low levels of this important fatty acid, your sebum is thicker and causes breakouts. Thus, using Argan Oil keeps your sebum from clogging your pores and prevents acne breakouts. In addition, research shows that Argan Oil regulates sebum production and reduces oiliness, which also contributes to less acne.

Argan Oil is commonly used as a moisturizer for both skin and hair. As a natural oil, it forms an occlusive layer on your skin to keep it hydrated. The oil absorbs quickly and is light enough to use as a daytime facial moisturizer yet is hydrating enough to be used as an overnight treatment. This oil is great for all skin types—especially oily skin because of its ability to balance excess oil production.
