The Benefits of Argan Oil
Posted by Taylor Douglas
People value Argan oil in skincare because of its many beneficial properties and the resultant advantages.
Properties of Argan Oil
Producers extract argan oil from the kernels of Argania spinosa L. It consists of mono-unsaturated (80%) and saturated (20%) fatty acids, with polyphenols, squalene, sterols, tocopherols, and triterpene alcohols. This oil is also very rich in oleic and linoleic fatty acids, as well as Vitamin E, making it a natural antioxidant. It is also non-comedogenic and has anti-inflammatory properties, which makes it great for overall skin care.
Benefits of Argan Oil
Traditionally, people have used argan oil to treat skin infections and have incorporated it into skin and hair care products. Daily topical use can help improve skin elasticity and skin hydration by restoring the barrier function and maintaining the water-holding capacity. It can also help provide a softening and relaxing effect on the skin. Studies have even shown that this oil may enhance wound healing on second-degree burns in rats and possesses anticancer activity.
Application and Use
Thanks to the properties and potential benefits of argan oil, it is commonly used to help enhance skin moisture, heal and smooth skin, nourish and strengthen hair, and improve overall skin health. This oil is a versatile and effective ingredient for promoting healthy, radiant skin.
