The history of Argan

Argan originates from Morocco, and it is considered one of its miraculous resources since it has very special characteristics.

The argan tree can withstand harsh weather conditions, drought, and even poor soil. This is why some people believe it is a surviving breed species from the tertiary period.

At first Phoenicians used Argan oil as a fuel as they used it to in oil lamps. The Berber then discovered its amazing nutritional and beauty properties. The Berber started using argan oil to protect them from the dry weather.

Argan trees can reach 10 meters in height. And they have adapted to the dry weather by absorbing moisture from the atmosphere and storing the water which travels down to the roots.  When the weather is super dry, the tree drops its leaves to reduce evaporation and enters a sort of hibernation which ends when humidity increases in the atmosphere.
