Argan is a tree native to Morocco, known for its resilience in arid environments. The tree produces small, oval-shaped fruits that contain seeds, which are the source of argan oil. This oil is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants, making it popular for both culinary and cosmetic uses. Argan oil is often used in cooking, adding a nutty flavor to dishes, while also being a key ingredient in many beauty products. The oil is celebrated for its moisturizing properties and is commonly applied to skin and hair. The production of argan oil supports local communities and promotes sustainable practices.
