Vitacost - Glonaturals Argan Collection - Organic Argan Oil - Non-GMO Description

A little goes a long way – 100% pure, organic Moroccan argan oil. Dry doesn’t stand a chance!

  • Potent, 100% pure Moroccan argan oil
  • Smooth and thick for maximum coverage
  • Deeply hydrates and nourishes skin or hair
  • Weigh down? No way! But…use sparingly for best results
  • Organic – no chemicals to pollute your beauty!

It’s called “liquid gold” for a reason. Argan oil – an amber-colored, velvety oil extracted from the nut of an exotic fruit – is rich in vitamin E, fatty acids and antioxidants that nourish skin while quenching it with the moisture it craves.

 

Glonaturals™ Argan Collection Organic Argan Oil is the cream of the crop. Pure, 100% natural and organic, this ultra-potent Moroccan argan oil quenches skin or hair with mega moisture instantly. Just dab a drop in your palm, rub hands together and smooth on for sensational softness or shine.

 

Why you’ll love it

 

Smooth, static-free hair, hydrated and nourished skin—the secret is super hydration from Vitacost® glonaturals™ Argan Collection Organic Argan Oil. Potent and pure, only a small amount is needed for big benefits.

 

Intense moisture. Perfect for all skin types, this powerfully nourishing oil gets to work quickly to reverse dryness in skin…or hair. Nutrient-rich, natural plant oils quench dry, thirsty skin and tresses, soaking in quickly to spread much-needed moisture to parched parts.

 

Total-body. Flyaway strands? Rough elbows or ankles? Use glonaturals™ Organic Argan Oil to smooth out areas missing moisture from head to toe. Try mixing a drop with your favorite lotion or moisturizer to spread benefits further.

 

Non-greasy. Oil is oily, right? With a thick, concentrated argan oil, the answer is not exactly. “Cheap,” poorly made products with chemical additives may leave a slippery, greasy feel, but glonaturals™ Organic Argan Oil absorbs fully and settles in deep for maximum benefits.

Discover the Amazing Beauty Benefits of Argan Oil

Among the pack of skin superfoods, a clear favorite has emerged—argan oil, often referred to as 'liquid gold.' The oil comes from the kernels of the argan tree (Argania spinosa), native to the arid climate of southwestern Morocco, and the second most common tree species there. Prized for its nutritive, cosmetic and numerous medicinal properties, argan oil has been used for several centuries. Discover the Amazing Beauty Benefits of Argan Oil

Much of the argan oil produced today is processed by the Berber women of Morocco in cooperatives that support local communities. The preparation is intensive: The nuts are cracked open between two stones, and then the kernels are roasted and ground into a paste. Women knead the chunky paste by hand to extract the oil, which is then pressed and filtered. In a typical day's work, a woman can harvest three kilograms of seeds, yielding more than one kilogram of oil.

The ultimate skin food

Exceedingly rich in nutrients, many skin care companies have picked up on the array of benefits Argan offers. “Aura Cacia became interested in this ingredient after learning about the long history of use in skin and hair care by the indigenous Berber culture in Morocco,” says Thomas Havran, branded products developer with Aura Cacia. “Given the arid environment in that region, the effects of the argan oil are remarkable.”

One look at the nutrient profile is enough to justify the excitement. “Argan oil is rich in natural fatty acids, such as linoleic acid and natural antioxidants such as tocopherols (vitamin E), carotenoids and ferulic acid,” says Los Angeles-based integrative dermatologist Susan Kallal, MD. “The fatty acids help restore the skin's integrity and natural barrier, and the antioxidants protect and reverse the effects of environmental damage on the skin. Ferulic acid in argan oil helps neutralize free radicals and protect the skin from UV damage.” Historically, argan has also been used as a hair oil, thought to keep hair shiny, conditioned and healthy.

Beauty is as beauty does

Incorporate argan oil into your skincare regimen and you become a beauty activist in one fell dab: It restores the skin, helps protect the indigenous environment and provides a lifeline of support for Moroccan women who might otherwise have no viable income.

If you have oily skin, the thought of applying oil to your face might seem counter-intuitive. But Kallal dispels that notion. “Argan oil is fast absorbing on the skin and, contrary to what many people expect, does not leave the skin feeling oily,” she says. “Argan oil is also rich in squalene, an oil that penetrates deeply into the skin and helps regulate sebum production.”

A study in the June 2007 issue of the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology showed that a cream made from argan oil and extracts from sesame seeds and saw palmetto reduced the casual sebum level by 20 percent and areas covered with oily spots by 42 percent.

Kallal recommends argan both as a moisturizer and as part of an acne treatment regimen. “Argan oil has natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties and can help calm and clear acne,” she says. “Argan oil is truly a versatile and valuable oil, and can be used on both young and mature skin.”

Before you rush out and buy anything labeled argan oil, caveat emptor: Look for 100 percent cold-pressed argan oil and avoid blends labeled 'Moroccan oil,' which may contain only a small amount of argan oil, says Kallal. Pure Argan oil has a light golden color and a mild nutty scent, while imposters sport a heavy, gooey texture and yellowish color.
