Argan oil has some of the highest amounts of oleic and linoleic acid. These acids help combat
and reduce wrinkles fighting aging skin. It is cell regenerative and fights
free radical damage from the sun and other negative environmental factors like
pollution and smoke. It contains high amounts of vitamin E. It is especially
good for mature aging skin and wrinkles.
Kokokahn's Argan Oil also known as Moroccan oil, is of the highest quality. It is cold pressed from the nut of the Argania spinosa tree. It is also unrefined, leaving all the natural therapeutic power of argan oil intact. Cold pressed carrier oils are the most therapeutic. Refined carrier oils are refined through high heat processing or chemical solvents which strip the carrier of any natural health benefits and can leave chemical solvent residue in the oil. While the shelf life is shorter with cold pressed carrier oils, the quality is far superior. Argan oil has a shelf life of 3 years from the time it is cold pressed.
Cold-pressed, unrefined Argan oil is a pale yellow color with a nutty aroma.
Argan oil resists oxidation and is a free radical scavender. It is good at softening rough, chapped skin, like elbows and heels.
