Argan oil, often referred to as “liquid gold,” has been a cornerstone of Moroccan culture for centuries, particularly among the Berber women who have utilized its versatile properties. Traditionally, in Morocco, argan oil is drizzled over couscous or pasta, and used as a dip for bread at breakfast. Globally, it has garnered acclaim both as a gourmet culinary ingredient and as a vital component in high-end personal care products. Rich in vitamin E and packed with essential fatty acids, argan oil stands out as one of nature’s most effective moisturisers, benefiting both skin and hair.
