Why Cold-Pressed Argan Oil Is Better for Your Skin

Why Cold-Pressed Argan Oil Is Better for Your Skin

 

By Dr. Gabrielle Francis

 

What Is Argan Oil and Where Does It Come From?

Argan Oil is a rare, luxurious oil derived from the nuts of the Argania spinosa tree, which grows exclusively in southwestern Morocco. Often called “liquid gold,” this oil has been used for centuries in Moroccan beauty rituals for its deeply nourishing, hydrating, and anti-aging properties.

Women’s Co-Operatives — Empowering Beauty and Sustainability

The story of Argan Oil is also a story of empowerment. In Morocco, local women’s co-operatives harvest, crack, and press Argan kernels by hand using traditional artisanal techniques. These co-ops create sustainable employment, preserve ancient traditions, and provide economic freedom for rural Moroccan women.

When you choose Moroccan Elixir, you’re not only choosing pure beauty—you’re supporting a legacy of fair trade, community empowerment, and ecological balance.

Why Cold-Pressed Argan Oil Is the Best

Not all Argan Oils are created equal. Many commercial producers use heat or chemical solvents to extract oil quickly, destroying the delicate compounds that make Argan Oil so beneficial.

Cold-pressed extraction, on the other hand, gently presses the kernels at low temperatures (below 60°C), preserving the oil’s natural vitamins, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. This results in a pure, potent, and unrefined oil that truly nourishes the skin from within.

The Traditional Cold-Press Method

In Morocco’s women’s co-operatives, the cold-press process is both art and ritual.
After harvesting, the Argan fruit is dried in the sun, the nuts are cracked by hand, and the kernels are slowly ground using stone mills or modern cold-press machines. This ancient practice keeps the oil pure, unrefined, and nutrient-rich—just as nature intended.

Nutrients Preserved Through Cold Pressing

Cold-pressed Argan Oil retains its full spectrum of skin-restoring nutrients, including:

  • Vitamin E (Tocopherols) – a potent antioxidant that protects skin from oxidative stress.

  • Essential Fatty Acids (Omega-6 & 9) – restore the lipid barrier and lock in moisture.

  • Polyphenols & Phytosterols – calm inflammation and promote elasticity.

  • Squalene – supports cell regeneration and balances oil production.

These nutrients are the foundation of radiant, hydrated, and resilient skin.

Beauty Benefits of Cold-Pressed Argan Oil

Pure, cold-pressed Argan Oil is a multi-purpose beauty elixir for face, body, hair, and nails:

  • Hydrates & Softens: Locks in moisture without clogging pores.

  • Anti-Aging: Improves elasticity and smooths fine lines.

  • Balances Oily Skin: Non-comedogenic and anti-inflammatory.

  • Restores Hair: Adds shine and repairs dry, sun-damaged ends.

  • Strengthens Nails: Nourishes brittle nails and softens cuticles.

Incorporating Argan Oil into your daily ritual can transform dull, dry skin into a luminous and youthful glow.
