Argan oil: a miracle ingredient

Rediscover the nourishing and revitalizing properties of argan through our organic oil that cares for the face, body and hair.

THE MOROCCAN ARGAN FOREST

For 35 years, Melvita has travelled the world, seeking out untouched natural areas. In Morocco, it came to the regions of Essaouira and Taroudant. The argan tree is endemic to these regions, and this is the only place in the world where it grows...

The argan tree lives in an arid environment, drenched in sunshine, where the climatic conditions are ideal for its growth. Because its fruits boast so many benefits, it is often called a "miraculous tree".

The tradition of harvesting and pocessing argan nuts has been carried down through generations of Berber women for centuries.

HOW IT'S MADE

Rich in vitamin E, Melvita's argan oil is first cold pressed from the argan kernels. No chemical solvents or preservatives are used in its production. This guarantees both its purity and quality.

PROPERTIES

Argan oil is exceptionally rich in omega 9, omega 6 and sterols. For centuries, Moroccan women have been using it on their skin for its nourishing and anti-aging benefits.

Melvita argan oil can be used in several ways.

• Apply to the face for visibly younger-looking skin.
• Apply to the body for its moisturizing, protective and soothing properties;
• Leave on the hair for one hour, or overnight, to deep condition and add shine.
