Perpetually in the search for beauty and youth, people flock to spas and search for products to add to their beauty regime. However, one answer to preventing wrinkles and eliminate scars might be Argan oil, which originates from the South Western part of Morocco.
The oil is actually extracted from a shell nut from the round and green fruits of the Argan tree, which grows exclusively in the South Western part of Morocco. This tree is very resistant to the harsh climate of the region, and prevails in a semi-desert environment. It is actually thanks to this amazing tree’s roots, which grow deep in search for water, that retain some humidity in the soil, limiting the advance of the desert.
The harvesting of the tree’s fruits and the laborious process of the oil extraction is still almost completely done by hand. For centuries, the women of this mostly rural region have been producing Argan oil, which was used for their consumption and traditional Moroccan medicine. Argan oil is also believed to help skin conditions, including wrinkles and scars; such that now, it is being exported to prestigious laboratories and the most luxurious spas in the world.
Because of its importance, it is called “The Tree of Life”, as it has sustained a living for generations in periods of drought, and now belongs in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
