Argan oil is nothing short of liquid gold, which has been used and validated by the people of Morocco for centuries. It has been a diet staple there forever. Argan oil is obtained by pressing the kernels of the Argan tree. The Argan tree is a resilient tree, whose roots go in deep to draw in the water. As the land of South West Morocco is dry and barren, the roots of the Argan tree go as deep as 30 metres underground in search of water and nutrients. This tree is a part of the Sapotaceae family, which is endemic to Morocco. The natives of Morocco had been ingesting this supremely beneficial oil in medicinal and culinary capacity for donkey's years, initially. But later they discovered the varied hidden properties that would change the way the world sees Argan, or dare I say, the world sees you. The Argan trees were on the brink of overuse, and since they need to be protected as they are natives to just 1 region, UNESCO had to step in. The Argan tree is so advantageous, that Morocco’s Argan forests were declared a Biosphere Reserve by them in the year 1998. The only way to allow the Argan trees to thrive was to involve the locals in their upkeep and pay them fairly. The Argan fruit is one of the few fruits which is used right to the centre. Nothing goes waste. Argan oil is derived from the fruit of the Argan trees, which are dried and cracked open to reveal the kernels and then pressed to extract that golden goodness. The thick kernel pulp is also sold and used by cosmetic companies. The outer pulp is used as fodder for the local animals and the shells are then burned and used as fuel. The uses and benefits of Argan oil are multi-faceted. Let us read about some of its magical uses in hair care.
