The popularity of Argan oil has skyrocketed since the amazing health benefits of this “miracle oil” were announced. The oil is cold pressed from the fruit of the Argan tree of Morocco (Argania spinosa), which is so nutritious that goats climb trees to eat them. Inside this fruit is the small stone from which the argan oil is produced. For centuries, dating back to at least 600 BC, the Phoenicians relied on this oil for healing and enhancing beauty.
