Moroccan oil (Argan oil)
Argan oil or otherwise known as Moroccan Oil is an oil producedfrom the kernels of the Argan tree, most indigenous to Morocco,which is valued for its nutritious, cosmetic and other remedialproperties. This oil is among the most valued due to itsinsufficient supply and high demand.
The tree, which has survived from the period of 65 to 1.8 millionyears ago, has exceedingly well adjusted to drought and otherenvironmentally difficult conditions of southwestern Morocco.Argan tree (Argania spinosa L. Skeels) the above named speciesonce covered North Africa.
The Argan tree grows wild in semidesert soil, its deep rootsystem helping to protect against harsh environmental changes,having a strong root deep underground has directly affectedArgan Tree’s survival abilities in the most disagreeable terrain.
For hundreds of years and prior to the modern age, the nativepeople of Morocco otherwise Known as (Berbers) have collectedkernels and used the oils that it holds for many positive cosmeticqualities including Anti Aging properties, cancer prevention, haircare and skin nourishment. The oil is a rich ointment that canmoisturize hair and skin. The unique composition of the argan oil
makes it a resource for dietetic and cosmetic usage.
Traditional ExtractionAccording to the Moroccan age old customs, the oil was prepared manually. Firstly, they remove theouter shell of the Argan fruit, and then spread the bare seeds on the ground to dry under the sun. Oncedry, then crushed into dough, with a percentage of water added to make the paste a little thinner to helpextract the oil in the final stages. Then almost finally, the mixture is compressed to extract the actual oilwithin the soggy mass. Further properties are mentioned below:
Mechanical ExtractionAs the age of production has improved dramatically since the realization of benefits of the Argan Tree, sohas the mechanical extraction of its oils for mass production.
The Oil keeps its good qualities for well over 12 months. Due to mechanical intervention, the dough doesnot have to be mixed with water as it’s pressed to extract the oil, it is no longer necessary.
All other original steps have remained unchanged when they first started to extract the oil. Furthermore,randomly selected samples, clearly demonstrates that press extraction does not alter either the chemicalcomposition of Argan oil or its physicochemical characteristics. It also demonstrates that press extractionrespects the critical factors reported for traditionally prepared oils and necessary to obtain a beneficialeffect on human health (a specific fatty acid balance and high tocopherol and sterol levels).
