Do you know the argan? If you are of North African origin you must have heard of it. Argan is not only known in the Maghreb! The argan is known throughout the world. In particular by the cause of its benefits but also by the fact that the large international firms have used this marketing asset to promote their products through various advertising spots.

Argan in your dishes

Argan is mainly produced in Morocco but also slightly in Algeria. It is used in the form of oil in various famous dishes such as couscous, fish and also salad dressing. Its taste is reminiscent of hazelnut and almond. Roasting the oil allows it to enhance the flavor of these dishes. These revelations may seem surprising to you given the prices of argan oil in France per liter, which range from 70 to almost 200 €. In Morocco and Algeria, this oil is much cheaper. This price difference is explained by the logistics, packaging and marketing costs which are passed on by the companies importing these oils.

Argan in cosmetics

Argan as a cosmetic is mainly used on the skin to fight against dryness of the latter. You can use it locally or in an area. These benefits are explained by the presence of Omega 6, vitamin E and antioxidants. This will also help delay the onset of your wrinkles, stretch marks and cellulite. Although for the latter, playing sports is obviously much more effective. Argan oil will therefore be a cause to nourish and irrigate your skin.
