Skinception Moroccan Argan Oil Review

Our Rating 5/5

Argan oil comes from the kernels of the fruit of the argan tree that is unique to the geographical location of what is today Morocco. It is valued by the local people for its medicinal, nutritive and cosmetic properties. Today, it is manufactured and sold by the Berber women of Morocco for the cosmetic use of women worldwide.

It was first recorded as being recognized by the Phoenicians around 1550 B.C. for having a great healing and repairing effect on several skin conditions. Today, this quality is more important than ever with the toxic air pollution and sun damage that most people’s skin experiences. Hundreds of European women go yearly to Moroccan spas for argan oil treatments.

Skinception offers 100 per cent pure argan oil that is cold-pressed and organic. There are no additives or preservatives in the product. Studies show that argan oil that has been mixed with other ingredients does not have the same effect that using the pure oil has. Choosing a skin care product that includes argan oil with many other ingredients is not only expensive, but less effective.

Many people believe the myth that oil applied to the skin will clog pores and cause acne. This is not at all true of argan oil. It has been proven to cure acne and remove other blemishes. It moisturizes the skin to give it a natural glow and actually reduces visible lines.

Other benefits of daily application of argan oil are:

Stops premature aging

Promotes collagen that reduces fine lines

Hydrates deep into the skin, so the effects last

Treats psoriasis and eczema with its anti-inflammatory properties

Protects from sun damage, free radicals and pollutants with antioxidants and high levels of Vitamin E

Removes stretch marks completely or reduces them greatly

Reduces acne breakouts with anti-inflammatory and anti-septic properties

Strengthens finger nails

Nourishes, softens and soothes hair

Argan oil contains an impressive list of healthful ingredients.

Vitamin E that is 200 per cent more than olive oil

Essential fatty acids that keep the skin firm

Natural anti-oxidants that protect the skin from pollution and sun damage

Oleic and Linoleic acid which help produce prostaglandin, a healing agent and anti-inflammatory

Polyphenols give UV protection from the sun

Squalene a healing agent for eczema, acne and psoriasis

Sterols promote moisture retention

Ferulic Acid is an anti-oxidant that gets more potent when exposed to sunlight

Triterpene alcohols also promote skin healing

D-7 Stigmasterol heals diseased skin tissue and wounds

There was once a huge forest of argan trees in North Africa, but today the forests are endangered and protected by UNESCO. Purchasing Skinception Cold Pressed Cosmetic Argan Oil ensures the protection of the tree as well as supports the rural cooperatives of Berber women who manufacture the oil by hand. This allows them to contribute to the financial support of their families while working part time.

With these Fair Trade Cooperatives, the women and their families can afford to remain in their ancestral communities and not migrate to the cities where they may live in poverty.

Skinception is offering consumers a 100 per cent guarantee that they will love cosmetic argan oil or Skinception will refund the price plus the shipping cost if the empty boxes are returned within 97 days of purchase. They will also refund the cost of any unused packages if the customer has taken advantage of discounts for ordering multiple boxes.

Argan oil is very pleasant to use. It is very light and not greasy, so it absorbs quickly into the skin and can be worn under make up. It has a very faint, practically undetectable nutty fragrance.

Skinception purchases argan oil from the Berber women who manufacture it, thereby supporting the biosphere reserve, of more than 2,560,000 hectares, where the trees are grown and protected as well as where reforestation takes place. Skinception also supports the Fair Trade Cooperatives and sells the oil to women all over the world at fair prices.

Called liquid gold because of its color and rarity, travelers to Morocco should be careful when they purchase the oil from local souks. It is almost always adulterated with cheaper oil and will get cloudy but remain liquid in the refrigerator. Pure argan oil will become semi solid in the fridge.

When argan oil is used as a daily moisturizer and skin conditioner it hydrates even the driest skin. It will treat sun damage, photo aging and free radicals for more healthy and youthful looking skin. It also has healing properties to cure acne, psoriasis and eczema. Women and men of any age can benefit from argan oil for healthier skin.
