Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil

Argan Oil

Argan Oil is Morocco's legendary "liquid gold", a rich and nourishing skin oil.

  • Deeply nourishes dry skin: its rich fatty acids sink in to soften and replenish.
  • Keeps skin soft and smooth: squalene and fatty acids help lock in moisture.
  • Softens the look of fine lines: vitamin E and antioxidants help skin look firmer and more youthful.

Why we use it

Argan oil does more than nourish, it also calms. Its anti-inflammatory properties help soothe irritated skin and reduce the look of redness. And with regular use it evens things out: a more even skin tone, a refined texture, and a softer look to age spots. That mix of calming and nourishing is exactly why argan sits in the Shielding Sunscreen. A mineral SPF can leave skin feeling tight, and argan is what keeps it comfortable through the day.
