Origin of Argan Oil
Argan oil is a product of the argan tree native to Morocco. Known as the "iron tree" because of its very hard wood, the tree grows in arid climates and produces a fleshy, round fruit. Inside the fruit is a nut containing three kernels filled with valuable argan oil. The oil is extracted before the fruit is dried and the pulp removed, before the nuts are cracked and filtered for purity.
