Discover the holistic benefits of Argan oil.
In the realm of the beauty industry, Argan oil stands out as a natural powerhouse for both skin and hair care. Recognised for its rich antioxidants, this oil holds a pivotal role in our award-winning, certified organic Hair Restorer oil blend. Additionally, we offer it as a stand-alone carrier oil, which boasts numerous benefits for body care.
However, the uses for Argan oil extends beyond external applications. The same nurturing and protective components that benefit our skin also wield significant influence on our internal well-being.
Exploring Argan oil online reveals discussions on two primary grades: cosmetic and culinary. While cosmetic grade originates from raw Argan nuts, culinary oil stems from roasted nuts, offering a more flavourful option. Yet, a lesser-known third grade exists: an edible-grade, pure, certified organic raw oil, the very oil we use at Absolute Essential. Our focus lies solely on this raw variety, as the heat involved in roasting nuts for culinary oil can compromise its health-giving purity. Likewise, cosmetic oil often undergoes processes that alter its natural essence.
The distinction is crucial. Raw Argan oil preserves the highest concentration of nutrients, offering unparalleled potential for supporting natural health and healing. This raw extract operates as a catalyst for promoting vitality both internally and externally.
