Rich, creamy, and ultra-nourishing — argan butter is one of the most precious skincare treasures from the Moroccan argan tree. While argan oil is already praised for its regenerative properties, argan butter is its more concentrated and stable version — ideal for dry, sensitive, or damaged skin. It envelops the skin in comfort, protects it from external aggressors, and stimulates repair. In this article, we explore the origin and many benefits of this rare and valuable butter.

  

ORIGIN OF ARGAN BUTTER

Argan butter is derived from oil extracted from the kernels of the argan tree (Argania spinosa), native to southwestern Morocco. To achieve the smooth texture of the butter, the precious oil is hydrogenated or blended with plant-based agents to solidify it while preserving its nourishing properties.

This process results in a rich, stable plant butter that’s easy to use in creams, balms, and reparative treatments.

MAIN BENEFITS OF ARGAN BUTTER

| Intense Nourishment

Rich in essential fatty acids (omega 6 and 9), it restores the skin’s hydrolipidic film, deeply nourishes, and soothes tightness.

| Skin Barrier Support

It protects the skin from harsh weather, wind, cold, and pollution by limiting water loss and reducing redness.

| Repairing Action

Thanks to its high content of vitamin E and antioxidants, it encourages skin regeneration and improves suppleness.

| Anti-Aging Protection

Its antioxidant properties help prevent premature aging by neutralizing free radicals.
