Environmental impacts for Argan

The Argan tree provides food, shelter and protection from desertification. The tree has deep roots which help prevent desert encroachment. The canopy of the argan tree also provides shade for other agricultural products and its leaves and fruit provide food for animals.[6]
The argan tree also helps landscape stability, helping to prevent soil erosion, providing shade for pasture grasses and helping to replenish aquifers.[17]
Producing argan oil has helped to protect argan trees from being cut down. In addition, regeneration of the Arganeraie has also been carried out: in 2009 an operation to plant 4,300 argan plants was launched in Meskala in the province of Essaouira.[18]
RARBA (Réseau des Associations de la Réserve de Biosphère Arganeraie, Network of Associations of the Argan Biosphere Reserve) was founded in 2002 with the aim of ensuring sustainable development in the Arganeraie.[19]
RARBA has been involved with several major projects, including the Moroccan national anti-desertification programme (Programme National de Lutte contre la desertification (PAN/LCD)). The project involved local populations and helped with improvements to basic infrastructure, management of natural resources, revenue generating activities (including argan oil production), capacity reinforcement and others.[20]

7 Warning Signs that Your Argan Oil is Impure

With Argan Oil gaining in popularity, there are a lot of products popping up on the internet and even in stores claiming to be “Pure Argan Oil”. Unfortunately, there are a lot of brands that you want to avoid.
If you’ve read our story, you’ll know that even getting your Argan Oil in Morocco doesn’t guarantee it’s authenticity.
As it is so difficult and time-consuming to produce, a lot of Argan Oil is completely fake, diluted or over-processed.  So here are a few ways to decide if a particular brand is worth investing in or not.
1.  The Ingredients
The ingredients list should be very short.  It should just say 100% Argan Oil or 100% Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil.  If it has anything else listed you don’t want it.
2. The bottle

mercredi 9 octobre 2013

Below are 10 ways to use organic argan oil in your daily life:

1. Face Moisturizer - After cleansing morning and/or night, massage a few drops of argan oil directly onto your face and neck. Since argan is considered a dry oil, it absorbs quickly and is not greasy. If you want to use it as a serum, apply your night cream after the oil absorbs into the skin.

2. Hydrating Toner – Add a few drops of argan oil to your favorite facial toner to hydrate and tone simultaneously. You can make your own toner by adding a few drops of argan oil to Rose or Orange Blossom water.

Argan oil for hair styling

No matter the style you are going for,
No matter your hair type: dry, brittle, unmanageable, frizzy, thin, thick, coarse, straight, wavy, curly, or coily, Argan oil will add shine, tame frizz, help straighten your hair, or enhance your natural curls.
Apply Argan oil for a natural, flexible, long lasting hold. Without stiffness or stickiness your style will stay in place all day long.
To eliminate contact friction and prevent hair breakage, apply Argan oil to wet hair prior to using a round brush and a hair dryer to straighten wavy hair. 
Apply Argan oil to enhance curls and boost volume prior to using a curling iron.
Or to simply air dry and manually style for a polished natural look.
The best part is that Argan oil does not just provide long lasting, weightless-hold styling, it also nourishes and protects hair from thermal styling and environmental factors.
Style your hair with Argan oil in 3 easy steps: 
  • Dry your wet clean hair with a towel until damp
  • Spray the appropriate amount for your hair on your palms and rub it gently into your hair from ends to roots.  Go very light on the roots
  • Style hair as desired
You can apply Argan oil on dry hair as well. However if you use heat styling tools to dry your hair, it is recommended to apply Argan oil first to protect it from thermal styling damage.
Extra fine thin hair:
To boost volume on fine thin hair without weighing it down, you must use Argan oil sparingly!
  • Spray less than one drop on your hand palms
  • Rub it on your face and body parts
  • Rub the leftovers on your hair by touching it lightly from ends to roots
Thick curly hair/ Afro American Hair:
Apply generous amounts of Argan oil to enhance natural curls/coils.
  • Dry your wet clean hair with a towel until damp
  • Take a section of hair and rub Argan oil into it starting at the ends. The amount of Argan oil depends on the length and thickness of the hair section. Remember small sections are usually easier to work with and often curl better
  • Repeat process until all hair sections are done
  • Style as usual

WHAT IS ARGAN OIL ?

The Argan (Argania Spinosa.) is a species of a tree endemic to the calcareous semi-desert of south-western Morocco in North Africa. it is the sole species in the genus Argania.

The Argan tree can reach a height of 32 feet, and can live up to 200 years. It is thorny, with gnarled trunks. The leaves are small .78 to 1.57 inch long, oval with a rounded apex. The flowers are small, with five petals. The fruit is the size of an olive, each one is surrounded by a peel, and contains one (occasionally two or three) small seeds.

The arganeraie forests now cover about 828,000 ha and are designated as a UNESCO Biosphere reserve. Their area has shrunk by about 50% over the last 100 years due to charcoal-making, grazing, and increasingly intensive cultivation.

For centuries, women in Southern Morocco; gathered together in cooperatives, have been passing down the traditional methods of extracting Argan Oil: How to gather and dry the fruit, crush the nuts, roast and grind the kernels, and finally knead the paste to extract the oil. It takes about 100 Kg of ripe fruit and over 10 hours of manual work to produce only 1 liter of this Unique oil: The most expensive in the world!!

Short History of Argan Oil

The argan tree is actually an ancient type of tree. Because it is so suited to a dry, desert
climate, it has done well in Morocco. People of the area have been making oil from the
pits of the tree for centuries now. The oil was originally used for cooking, but eventually
its restorative qualities were discovered and it was used to help keep the skin looking
great. Over the years, the modern world has crept into Morocco. Today, the ancient oil
is still made although there are modern methods used.
Rumor has it that in the past farmers followed goats to pick the pits out of their dung.
These were then ground down to make cooking oil and cosmetics. Today, however, the
cultivation of argan oil is much more sterile and controlled, making it a safe way to enjoy
the benefits of the oil. There is a large Arganeraie Biosphere Reserve today because
the argan tree is so important to the local ecosystem – and the people of the area.
 

Where Argan Oil Comes From

The argan tree is found in Morocco. The kernels of the tree are the source of argan
oil, which has been found to be useful in many different respects. From being very
